449 449  In some data reporting environments, and in particular those in primary reporting, a report may comprise a variety of heterogeneous data, each described by a different //Structure//. Equally, a specific disseminated or published report may also comprise a variety of heterogeneous data. The definition of the set of linked sub reports is supported by the ReportingTaxonomy.

451 -The ReportingTaxonomy is a specialised form of //ItemScheme//. Each ReportingCategory of the ReportingTaxonomy can link to one or more //StructureUsage// which itself can be one of Dataflow, or Metadataflow, and one or more //Structure//, which itself can be one of DataStructureDefinition or MetadataStructureDefinition. It is expected that within a specific ReportingTaxonomy each Category that is linked in this way will be linked to the same class (e.g. all Category in the scheme will link to a Dataflow). Note that a ReportingCategory can have child ReportingCategory and in this way it is possible to define a hierarchical ReportingTaxonomy. It is possible in this taxonomy that some ReportingCategory are defined just to give a reporting structure. For instance:
