--The intent of this guideline is two-fold: to provide a core set of [[concepts>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] which can be used to structure statistical data and metadata, to promote interoperability between systems (“[[structural metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Structural metadata.WebHome]]”, as described above); and to promote the exchange of metadata more widely, with a set of harmonized [[concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] names and definitions for other types of metadata (“[[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Reference metadata.WebHome]]”, as defined above.)

  == 6.2 Metadata Common Vocabulary ==
--The Metadata Common Vocabulary is an [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] guideline which provides definition of terms to be used for the comparison and mapping of terminology found in [[data structure definitions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] and in other aspects of statistical metadata management. Essentially, it provides ISOcompliant definitions for a wide range of statistical terms, which may be used directly, or against which other terminology systems may be mapped. This set of terms is inclusive of the terminology used within the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Technical Standards.

--These guidelines define the standard set of [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] [[Concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] Roles and their use. This set of standard [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] [[Concepts>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] are implemented as a [[cross-domain Concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Cross-domain concept.WebHome]] Scheme that defines the set of [[concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] roles and gives examples on [[concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] role implementation in [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0. A [[concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] role gives a particular context to a [[concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] for easy and systematic interpretation by machine processing and visualization tools. For example, the [[concepts>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] REPORTING_AREA and COUNTERPART_AREA are different [[concepts>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] but they are both geographical characteristics, therefore they can be associated with the same [[concept>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] role ID: "GEO". This allows visualization systems to interpret these [[concepts>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept.WebHome]] as geographical data in order to generate [[maps>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Map.WebHome]].
