9	9	Each of the class diagrams in this section views classes from the SDMX Base package from a different perspective. There are detailed views of specific patterns, plus overviews showing inheritance between classes, and relationships amongst classes.

A Structure is a set of ordered lists. A pattern to underpin this tabular structure has been developed, so that commonalities between these structure definitions can be supported by common software and common syntax structures.

394	394	There are also a number of SDMX data types which do not have these direct correspondences, often because they are composite representations or restrictions of a broader data type. These are detailed in Section 6 of the standards.
395	395
396	396	The Representation is composed of Facets, each of which conveys characteristic information related to the definition of a value domain. Often a set of Facets are needed to convey the required semantic. For example, a sequence is defined by a minimum of two Facets: one to define the start value, and one to define the interval.
