160		-The //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]// is an abstract class which defines a set of //[[Item>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.WebHome]]// (this class is also abstract). Its main purpose is to define a mechanism which can be used to create taxonomies which can classify other parts of the [[SDMX Information Model>>doc:Glossary.SDMX Information Model.WebHome]]. It is derived from //[[MaintainableArtefact>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.WebHome]]// which gives it the ability to be annotated, have identity, naming, versioning and be associated with an [[Agency>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Organisation.Agency.WebHome]]. An example of a concrete class is a [[ConceptScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ConceptScheme.WebHome]]. The associated Concepts are //[[Item>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.WebHome]]//s.

166		-The purpose of a partial //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]// is to support the exchange and dissemination of a subset //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]// without the need to maintain multiple //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]//s which contain the same //[[Item>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.WebHome]]//s. For instance, when a Codelist is used in a [[DataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.DataStructureDefinition.WebHome]] it is sometimes the case that only a sub-set of the Codes in a Codelist are relevant. In this case a partial Codelist can be constructed using the [[Constraint>>doc:Glossary.Constraint.WebHome]] mechanism explained later in this document.
