7 7  The first change in the data and metadata message is one of terminology. In order to foster consistency in the standard, the names and namespaces of the data and metadata message have been changed. The namespaces now have a uniform format of /data/format and /metadata/format, where format is either generic or structured (i.e. the structure specific formats). This also applies to the message names as well, where the names follow the pattern of FormatData (e.g. StructuredData and GenericMetadata).

9 -The various data messages which existed in the standard have been harmonised into two general formats; generic and structured data. The generic data is much like it has been previously, only slightly modified to conform with the harmonised view on data. The structured data combined the principles of the previous (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)versions(%%) compact and cross sectional formats into one more generalised format.

11 -The major shift from the previous (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) is now that all data can be exchanged as either an un-grouped collection oData structure and metadata structure-specific schemas are each based on one single core construct found in their respective structure-specific namespaces;f observations, each specifying a full key or it can be exchanged as data grouped into series with any single [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] placed at the observation (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%). This in effect, combined the abilities of the time series and cross sectional formats in the a single data format. This format also allows for multiple [[measure>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Measure.WebHome]] to be expressed when the observation [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] is the [[measure>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Measure.WebHome]] [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] defined in the data structured. The key differences from the previous (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)versions(%%) is that this all is possible in a single [[data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] specific format, as well as being possible in the generic format as well. The goal was to make the structures as homogenous as possible.

13 -Another shift from the previous (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) in the manner in which the base data structure specific format is defined. In previous (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)versions(%%) there was not structure defined, so one had to understand all of the requirements and read the specification in order to understand what could be expected in any structure specific format. In this (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%), that issue has been addressed. The base structures now impose a strict format on the data structure specific schemas. This is achieved much like the referencing structure in the common namespace through the use of unqualified elements. By the elements not existing in a namespace, the structure specific schemas can place the necessary restrictions of them while still being forced to adhere to prescribed structure. This means that not only are the structures able to perform the validation that is required, but that the messages will be much simpler to process as the format will always use the same element names.

15 -Finally, in order to allow for systems which wish to not process the new more flexible data format, time series only variations of both the generic and structured [[data sets>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] exist. It is important to note that these structures are derived via restriction from the more generalised format. This means that a [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] in the general format with the time [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] at the observation (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%) will have exactly the same content as a time series only [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]]. The result of this is that there is no additional burden for processing the time series specific format it a system can process the more generalised format. These time series only [[data sets>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] allow for time series only data messages to exist. These messages make it simple for system which, in the previous (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) of the standard, only used the time series formats to continue to do so.

17 -These same principles have been applied to the reference data messages as well. In the previous (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) of the standard there were major differences between the generic and metadata structure-specific formats; some of the differences caused some [[metadata sets>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata set.WebHome]] were incompatible between (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)versions(%%). In this (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) the structures of the generic and metadata structure specific formats have been harmonised to the point where they are nearly identical. Yet, the structured format still provides the strong validation against the metadata structure that is intended. And, as with the data, the base metadata structure specific format now imposes a stricter structure on the generated schemas, making the structure specific instance simpler to process in a generic manner.

For example, if series contains both data and documentation, it assumed that each series will have a unique key. If the series contains only data or only documentation, then it is possible that another series with the same key might exist, but with not with the same purpose (i.e. to provide data or documentation) as the first series.

Any data attribute or observation value that is to be changed must be provided. However, the absence of an observation value or a data attribute at any level does not imply deletion; instead it is simply implied that the value is to remain unchanged. Therefore, it is valid and acceptable to send a data message with an action of Append which contains only a Series elements with attribute values. In this case, the values for the attributes will be updated. Note that it is not permissible to update data attributes using partial keys (outside of those associated with defined groups).

1351 -A [[dataset>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] with an action of Delete is assumed to be an incremental deletion. The deletion is assumed to take place of the lowest (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%) of detail provided in the message. For example, if a delete message is sent with only a [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] element, the entire [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] will be deleted. On the other hand, if that [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] contains a data [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]], only that data [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] value will be deleted. This same dynamic continues through the [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] [[hierarchy>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]]. A [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] containing only a series with no data [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] or observations will result in that entire series (all observations and data [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]) being deleted. If the series contains data [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]], only the supplied data [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] for that series will be deleted. Finally, if a series contains observations, then only the specified observations will be deleted. If an entire observation is to be deleted (value and data [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]), only the observation [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] should be provided. If only the [[observation value>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Observation value.WebHome]] or particular data [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] are to be deleted, then these should be specified for the observation. Note that a group can only be used to delete the data [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] associated with it. Although the format might not require it, a full key must be provided to delete a series or observation. It is not permissible to wild card a key in order to delete more than one series or observation. Finally, to delete a data [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] or [[observation value>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Observation value.WebHome]] it is recommended that the value to be deleted be supplied; however, it is only required that any valid value be provided.

For example, if a delete message is sent with only a data set element, the entire data set will be deleted. On the other hand, if that data set contains a data attribute, only that data attribute value will be deleted. This same dynamic continues through the data set hierarchy. A data set containing only a series with no data attributes or observations will result in that entire series (all observations and data attributes) being deleted. If the series contains data attributes, only the supplied data attributes for that series will be deleted. Finally, if a series contains observations, then only the specified observations will be deleted. If an entire observation is to be deleted (value and data attributes), only the observation dimension should be provided. If only the observation value or particular data attributes are to be deleted, then these should be specified for the observation.
