  The //ItemScheme// is an abstract class which defines a set of //Item// (this class is also abstract). Its main purpose is to define a mechanism which can be used to create taxonomies which can classify other parts of the SDMX Information Model. It inherits from //MaintainableArtefact// which gives it the ability to be annotated, have identity, naming, versioning and be associated with an Agency. An example of a concrete class is a CategoryScheme. The associated Category are //Items//.
@@ -178,53 +178,81 @@
  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 in a Codelist are relevant. In this case a partial Codelist can be constructed using the Constraint mechanism explained later in this document.
--//Item// inherits from //NameableArtefact// which gives it the ability to be annotated and have identity, and therefore has id, uri and urn attributes, 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//).

  The //Item// can be hierarchic and so one //Item// can have child //Item//s. The restriction of the hierarchic association is that a child //Item// can have only parent //Item//.
