  Constraints are, effectively, lists of the valid or actual content of data and metadata. Constraints can be used to specify a subset of the theoretical content of data set or metadata set which can be derived from the specification of the DSD or MSD. A Constraint can comprise a list of keys or a list of content (usually code values) of a specific component such as a dimension or attribute.
