7 -The scope of the [[MSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata structure definition.WebHome]] is enhanced in this (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) to better support the types of construct to which metadata can be attached. In particular it is possible to specify an attachment to any key or partial key of a [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]]. This is particularly useful for web dissemination where metadata may be present for the data, but is not stored with the data but is related to it. For this use case to be supported it is necessary to be able to specify in the [[MSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata structure definition.WebHome]] that metadata is attached to a key or partial key, and the actual key or partial key to be identified in the [[Metadata Set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata set.WebHome]].
