--**Value lists**
--Value lists help in modelling microdata by providing an enumeration similar to code lists 206 but allowing any string values without being restricted to the rules of SDMX identifiers. That allows ValueItems (the equivalent to Code) to contain symbols like ‘¥’ and ‘€’, but also means they are not identifiable.

  Structure mapping rules may be defined with both multiple source components and multiple target components in contrast to version 2.1 where only one source and target was allowed. That supports many-to-many (n-n) mapping use cases where the output of a mapping rule may be dependent on the combination of a number of input components. For instance:
  Set the output component INDICATOR=”DE_A” if the input components are FREQ=”A” and REF_AREA=”DE”.
