  The Structure Set in version 2.1 is a container for many mapping structures including Data Structure Map, Codelist Map and Concept Map. For version 3.0 the Structure Set artefact has been deprecated and replaced with a number of new maintainables giving better flexibility and reusability, specifically: Structure Map, Concept Scheme Map, Representation Map, Reporting Taxonomy Map, Category Scheme Map and Organisation Scheme Map.

  Attachment constraints have been deprecated due to a lack of use cases.
--=== 3.9 Code List Extension ===
++=== //3.9 Code List Extension// ===
  In addition to the two new specialised geospatial forms, the option has been added to define a code list as an extension of, or by inheriting codes from, other lists. An optional prefix can be added to inherited codes to disambiguate duplicates.
  This feature allows new code lists to be easily derived from existing lists without the need to make and manually maintain copies. When querying for extended code list structures using the REST API, the option has been added to retrieve either the definition or the materialised list. Traditional literal lists of codes continue to be supported.
--=== 3.10 Discriminated Union of Code Lists ===
++=== //3.10 Discriminated Union of Code Lists// ===
  Combining code list extension with wildcarded constraints solves the discriminated union of code lists problem where a classification or breakdown has multiple “variants” which are all valid but mutually exclusive. A common example is economic activity where several alternative classification schemes are in use including ISIC revisions 1 to 4 and NACE as used in the European Community.
--=== 3.11 Code Hierarchies ===
++=== //3.11 Code Hierarchies// ===
  Code hierarchies allow the definition of complex hierarchies of codes from potentially multiple lists for data discovery purposes. Hierarchical Codelist has been deprecated and replaced by two new artefacts: Hierarchy – the actual hierarchy of codes, and Hierarchy Association links hierarchies directly to any other identifiable object, a capability missing 312 from the version 2.1 model. Further, the linkage can be within a particular context, for instance linking a hierarchy to a dimension within the context of a specific Dataflow (dimension REF_AREA in the context of the ECB:EXR Dataflow).
