--These guidelines define the standard set of [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Concept(%%) Roles and their use. This set of standard [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Concepts(%%) are implemented as a [[cross-domain Concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Cross-domain concept.WebHome]] Scheme that defines the set of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concept(%%) roles and gives examples on (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concept(%%) role implementation in [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0. A (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concept(%%) role gives a particular context to a (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concept(%%) for easy and systematic interpretation by machine processing and visualization tools. For example, the (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concepts(%%) REPORTING_AREA and COUNTERPART_AREA are different (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concepts(%%) but they are both geographical characteristics, therefore they can be associated with the same (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concept(%%) role ID: "GEO". This allows visualization systems to interpret these (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concepts(%%) as geographical data in order to generate (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)maps(%%). The implementation of (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)concept(%%) roles is different in [[versions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] 2.0 and 2.1/3.0 of the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] technical standard. Specifically for [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 3.0, this set of roles is considered a normative list that must be interpreted in the same way by all organisations. Additional roles may be provided via the standard roles’ mechanism in [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 3.0, i.e., via [[Concept Schemes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept scheme.WebHome]]; the semantics of these roles have to be agreed bilateraly in [[data exchanges>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data exchange.WebHome]].
