422 422  One area which is much impacted by this versioning scheme is the ability to reference external objects. With the many dependencies within the various structural objects in [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]], it is useful to have a scheme for external referencing. This is done at the (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%) of maintainable objects (DSDs, [[code lists>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Code list.WebHome]], [[concept schemes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Concept scheme.WebHome]], etc.) In an [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] Structure Message, whenever an “[[isExternalReference>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.isExternalReference.WebHome]]” [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] is set to true, then the application must resolve the address provided in the associated “uri” [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] and use the [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] Structure Message stored at that location for the full definition of the object in question. Alternately, if a registry “urn” [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] has been provided, the registry can be used to supply the full details of the object.

424 424  Because the (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) number is part of the identifier for an object, (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)versions(%%) are a necessary part of determining that a given resource is the one which was called for. It should be noted that whenever a (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) number is not supplied, it is assumed to be “1.0”. (The “x.x” versioning notation is conventional in practice with [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]], but not required.)
