90 -The Constraint model in [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 3.1 has been made more cohesive by separating the Data Constraint into two distinct structures; the Data Constraint which describes reporting restrictions, and the Availability Constraint, which describes data content from a [[data source>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data source.WebHome]]. In [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] 3.0 these distinctions were made using the ‘type’ property on a Data [[Constraint>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Constraint.WebHome]].
