--A //Constraint// is a //MaintainableArtefact//.
++A (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)//[[Constraint>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Constraint.WebHome]]//(%%) is a //MaintainableArtefact//.
  A DataConstraint has a choice of two ways of specifying value subsets:
--1. As a set of keys that can be present in the //DataSet// (DataKeySet). Each DataKey specifies a number of ComponentValues each of which reference a //Component// (e.g., Dimension, DataAttribute). Each ComponentValue is a value that may be present for a //Component// of a structure when contained in a //DataSet//. In addition, each DataKeySet may also include MemberSelections for AttributeComponents or Measures.
--1. As a CubeRegion whose MemberSelections SelectionValues define a subset of allowed/disallowed values for a Component when contained in a //DataSet/MetadataSet//. A DataConstraint is restricted to a maximum of 2 CubeRegions, one to define included (allowable) content, and the other to define disallowed content (isIncluded=false).
++1. As a set of keys that can be present in the //[[DataSet>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]]// (DataKeySet). Each DataKey specifies a number of ComponentValues each of which reference a //[[Component>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Component.WebHome]]// (e.g., [[Dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]], DataAttribute). Each ComponentValue is a value that may be present for a //[[Component>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Component.WebHome]]// of a structure when contained in a //[[DataSet>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]]//. In addition, each DataKeySet may also include MemberSelections for AttributeComponents or Measures.
++1. As a CubeRegion whose MemberSelections SelectionValues define a subset of allowed/disallowed values for a [[Component>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Component.WebHome]] when contained in a //[[DataSet>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]]/MetadataSet//. A DataConstraint is restricted to a maximum of 2 CubeRegions, one to define included (allowable) content, and the other to define disallowed content ([[isIncluded>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.isIncluded.WebHome]]=false).
  The difference between (1) and (2) above is that :
--1. Defines a combination of Dimension values, which are assessed in combination to reference one or more Series in a Dataset. This combination of values can be used to explicitly include or exclude the Series from being reported (via the isIncluded property). In addition, once a set of Series are targeted by a DataKey restrictions can be applied to Attribute and Measure values by defining subsets of values that are either allowed or disallowed. The DataKeySet targets its rules to specific Series.
--1. Defines a subset of values that are allowed for a Component. Each CubeRegion MemberSelection defines a single Component to define a set of allowed or disallowed values, the MemberSelections are processed indepently of each other. The Cube Region supplies global rules, not series specific rules.

The Cube Region supplies global rules, not series specific rules.
  A MetadataConstraint has only one way of specifying value subsets:
--~1. As a set of MetadataTargetRegions each of which defines a “slice” of the total structure (MemberSelection) in terms of one or more MemberValues that may be present for a //Component// of a structure when contained in a MetadataSet.

--"operator" on the value is deemed to be "equals", unless the wildcard character is used '%'. In the latter case the "operation" is a partial matching, where the percentage character ('%') may match zero or more characters. Furthermore, it is possible in a MemberValue to specify that child values (e.g., child codes) are included in the Constraint by means of the cascadeValues attribute. The latter may take the following values:

--It is possible to define for the DataKeySet, DataKey, CubeRegion, MetadataTargetRegion and MemberSelection whether the set is included (isIncluded = "true", default) or excluded (isIncluded = "false") from the Constraint definition. This attribute is useful if, for example, only a small sub-set of the possible values are not included in the set, then this smaller sub-set can be defined and excluded from the constraint. Note that if the child construct is “included” and the parent construct is “excluded” then the child construct is included in the list of constructs that are “excluded”.

Note that if the child construct is “included” and the parent construct is “excluded” then the child construct is included in the list of constructs that are “excluded”.
