391 391  For many years the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] initiative has been fostering and supporting the development of a standard calculation [[language>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Language.WebHome]], called [[Validation and Transformation Language>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Validation and transformation language.WebHome]] ([[VTL>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Validation and transformation language.WebHome]]). A blueprint for defining calculations was already described in the original [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 2.1 specifications (package 13 of the Information Model - “Transformations and Expressions”). It was just a basic framework that required further developments to became operational in order to achieve a calculation [[language>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Language.WebHome]] able to manipulate [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] [[artefacts>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Artefact.WebHome]].

The intent was to define a standard [[language>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Language.WebHome]] to be implemented in [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] and applicable also to GSIM and DDI. This brought to the publication of the [[VTL>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Validation and transformation language.WebHome]] 1.0 in 2015. Then new requirements came from a number of proofs of concepts and tests of [[VTL>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Validation and transformation language.WebHome]] 1.0 made by several organisations and triggered a large improvement of the [[language>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Language.WebHome]].

The high number of [[comments>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Comment.WebHome]] received triggered another phase of intensive work, with the main goal of achieving a more robust and forward compatible version. Finally, the [[VTL>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Validation and transformation language.WebHome]] 2.0 was published between April and July 2018 (see the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] website).
