  == 2.1 Removal of Advanced Release Calendar ==
--The Data [[Constraint>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Constraint.WebHome]] was simplified to become a cohesive structural [[artefact>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Artefact.WebHome]] focussed solely on the restriction of values that can be reported. As part of this remodelling the Advanced [[Release Calendar>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Release policy - release calendar.WebHome]] was removed as it does not play a restrictive role.

  == 2.2 Removal of Version on Categorisation ==
--The [[Categorisation>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Categorisation.WebHome]] structural [[artefact>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Artefact.WebHome]] has no use case for undergoing [[version>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] changes, the [[version>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] was therefore removed.

  //Guidance for Implementors//
--If multiple [[versions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] of a [[Categorisation>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Categorisation.WebHome]] exist where the source or target differs, these [[Categorisations>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Categorisation.WebHome]] should be given a unique ID.
++If multiple (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)[[versions>>doc:Glossary.Version.WebHome]](%%) of a Categorisation exist where the source or target differs, these Categorisations should be given a unique ID.
  = 3. Information Model =
  The changes to the information model support two distinct use cases:
--1. Horizontally complex [[Data Structure Definitions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] (DSDs)
--1. Additional cohesion to the Data [[Constraints>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Constraint.WebHome]] model
++1. Horizontally complex [[Data Structure Definitions>>doc:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] (DSDs)
++1. Additional cohesion to the Data (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)[[Constraints>>doc:Glossary.Constraint.WebHome]](%%) model
  These changes are described in below.
  == 3.1 Horizontally Complex Data Structure Definitions ==
--An explanation of this use case, with additional details can be found under Section 6 - Technical Notes, under heading ‘10.3 [[Dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] [[Constraint>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Constraint.WebHome]]’.

  The following changes to the model have been made to satisfy this use case.
  **Data Structure Definition**
--The [[Data Structure Definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] has a new ‘evolving structure’ property, this is a Boolean property, when set to ‘true’ it indicates to the users of the [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] that new [[Dimensions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] may be added without the [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] undergoing a change to its major [[version>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] number.

  **Dataflow**
--The [[Dataflow>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dataflow.WebHome]] has a new [[Dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] [[Constraint>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Constraint.WebHome]] property, which is used to reference a subset of [[Dimensions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] which it uses from the referenced [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]].
++The [[Dataflow>>doc:Glossary.Dataflow.WebHome]] has a new [[Dimension>>doc:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)[[Constraint>>doc:Glossary.Constraint.WebHome]](%%) property, which is used to reference a subset of [[Dimensions>>doc:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] which it uses from the referenced [[DSD>>doc:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]].
--The [[Dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] [[Constraint>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Constraint.WebHome]] fixes the [[Dimensions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] of the [[Dataflow>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dataflow.WebHome]] enabling the referenced [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] to have new [[Dimensions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] added without the need to change the major [[version>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]] number.
++The [[Dimension>>doc:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)[[Constraint>>doc:Glossary.Constraint.WebHome]](%%) fixes the [[Dimensions>>doc:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] of the [[Dataflow>>doc:Glossary.Dataflow.WebHome]] enabling the referenced [[DSD>>doc:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] to have new [[Dimensions>>doc:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] added without the need to change the major (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)[[version>>doc:Glossary.Version.WebHome]](%%) number.
--The [[Dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] [[Constraint>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Constraint.WebHome]] property is only required if the [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] sets the evolving structure property to true.
++The [[Dimension>>doc:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)[[Constraint>>doc:Glossary.Constraint.WebHome]](%%) property is only required if the [[DSD>>doc:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] sets the evolving structure property to true.
