Measures now act like any other component in that they use concepts, can have their own local coded or uncoded representation defined within the Data Structure Definition, and can be either mandatory or conditional. Creating a measure with the “MEASURE” concept role applied emulates the version 2.1 MeasureDimension behaviour as illustrated in the SDMX-ML example below: 332 332 333 -Multiple measures are a common characteristic of microdatasets.
