5 Accompanying this document is a set of sample files. These samples consists of [[structural metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Structural metadata.WebHome]], data, [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]], and schema files for structured data and [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]]. There are 4 basic sets of files. The details of each of these sets is described in the sections to follow.
