--A RepresentationMap describes a mapping between source value(s) and target value(s) where the values are restricted to those in a Codelist, ValueList or be of a certain data type, e.g., Integer.
++A RepresentationMap describes a mapping between source value(s) and target value(s) where the values are restricted to those in a [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]], ValueList or be of a certain data type, e.g., Integer.
  The RepresentationMap maps information from one or more sources, where the values for each source are used in combination to derive the output value for one or more targets. Each source value may match a substring of the original data (using startIndex and/or endIndex) or define a pattern matching rule described by a regular expression. The target value is provided as an absolute string, although it can make use of regular expression groups to carry across values from the source string to the target string without having to explicitly state the value to carry. An example is a regular expression which states ‘match a value starting with AB followed by anything, where the anything is marked a capture group’, the target can state ‘take the anything value and postfix it with AB’ thus enabling the mapping of ABX to XAB and ABY to YAB.
