179 179  Furthermore, the Id of the //ItemScheme// where isPartial is set to “true” is the same as the Id of the full //ItemScheme// ([[maintenance agency>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Maintenance agency.WebHome]], id, [[version>>doc:Glossary.Version.WebHome]]). This is important as this is the Id that that is referenced in other structures (e.g. a Codelist referenced in a [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]]) and this Id is always the same, regardless of whether the disseminated //ItemScheme// is the full //ItemScheme// or a partial //ItemScheme//.

181 -The purpose of a partial //ItemScheme// is to support the exchange and dissemination of a subset ItemScheme without the need to maintain multiple //ItemScheme//s which contain the same //Item//s. For instance, when a Codelist is used in a DataStructureDefinition it is sometimes the case that only a sub-set of the [[Codes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] in a Codelist are relevant. In this case a partial Codelist can be constructed using the [[(% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Constraint>>doc:Glossary.Constraint.WebHome]](%%) mechanism explained later in this document.

183 183  //Item// inherits from //NameableArtefact// which gives it the ability to be annotated and have identity, and therefore has id, uri and urn [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]], a name and a description in the form of an InternationalString. Unlike the parent //ItemScheme//, the //Item// itself is not a //MaintainableArtefact// and therefore cannot have an independent Agency (i.e. it implicitly has the same agency as the //ItemScheme//).
