Data sharing reduces the reporting burden of organisations by allowing them to publish data once and let their counterparties “pull” data and related metadata as required. The scenario is based on:
--* the availability of an abstract information model capable of supporting time series and cross-sectional data, [[structural metadata>>doc:Glossary.Structural metadata.WebHome]], and [[reference metadata>>doc:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]] ([[SDMX-IM>>doc:Glossary.SDMX Information Model.WebHome]])
--* standardised XML and JSON schemas for the [[SDMX-ML>>doc:Glossary.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] and [[SDMX-JSON>>doc:Glossary.SDMX-JSON.WebHome]] formats derived from the model (XSD, JSON)

  * the use of web-services technology (XML, JSON, Open API)
--Such an architecture needs to be well organised, and the [[SDMX Registry>>doc:Glossary.SDMX Registry.WebHome]]/Repository (SDMXRR) is tasked with providing structure, organisation, and maintenance and query interfaces for most of the [[SDMX>>doc:Glossary.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] [[components>>doc:Glossary.Component.WebHome]] required to support the data sharing vision.

  Whilst the introductory section contains some information on the role of the registry, it is assumed that the reader is familiar with the uses of a registry in providing shared metadata across a community of counterparties.
--Note that chapters 5 and 6 below contain normative rules regarding the Registry Interface and the identification of registry objects. Further, the minimum standard for access to the registry is via a REST interface (HTTP or HTTPS), as described in the appropriate sections. The [[notification>>doc:Glossary.Notification.WebHome]] mechanism must support e-mail and HTTP/HTTPS protocols as described. Normative registry interfaces are specified in the [[SDMX-ML>>doc:Glossary.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] specification (Section 3 of the [[SDMX>>doc:Glossary.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Standard).

--**container-object-id** is the identifier of an intermediary object that contains the actual object which the URN is identifying. It is not mandatory as many actual objects do not have an intermediary container object. For instance, a [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] is in a maintained object (Codelist) and has no intermediary container object, whereas a MetadataAttribute has an intermediary container object (MetadataAttributeDescriptor) and may have an intermediary container object, which is its parent MetadataAttribute. For this reason, the container object id may repeat, with each repetition identifying the object at the next-lower (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%) in its [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]]. Note that if there is only a single containing object in the model then it is NOT included in the URN structure. This applies to AttributeDescriptor, DimensionDescriptor, and MeasureDescriptor where there can be only one such object and this object has a fixed id. Therefore, whilst each of these has a URN, the id of the AttributeDescriptor, DimensionDescriptor, and MeasureDescriptor is not included when the actual object is a DataAttribute or a Dimension/ TimeDimension, or a Measure.
