  This group of classes forms the nucleus of the administration [[facets>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Facet.WebHome]] of [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] objects. They provide features which are reusable by derived classes to support horizontal functionality such as identity, versioning etc.
--All classes derived from the abstract class //AnnotableArtefact// may have [[Annotations>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Annotation.WebHome]] (or notes): this supports the need to add notes to all [[SDMX-ML>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX-ML.WebHome]] elements. The [[Annotation>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Annotation.WebHome]] is used to convey extra information to describe any [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] construct. This information may be in the form of a URL reference and/or a multilingual text (represented by the association to InternationalString).

  The //IdentifiableArtefact// is an abstract class that comprises the basic [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]] needed for identification. Concrete classes based on //IdentifiableArtefact// all inherit the ability to be uniquely identified.
--The (% style="background-color:#e74c3c" %)//NamableArtefact//(%%) is an abstract class that inherits from //IdentifiableArtefact //and in addition the +description and +name roles support multilingual descriptions and names for all objects based on //NameableArtefact//. The InternationalString supports the [[representation>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Representation.WebHome]] of a description in multiple locales (locale is similar to [[language>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Language.WebHome]] but includes geographic variations such as Canadian French, US English etc.). The //LocalisedString// supports the [[representation>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Representation.WebHome]] of a description in one locale.

  //VersionableArtefact// is an abstract class which inherits from //NameableArtefact// and adds versioning ability to all classes derived from it, as explained in the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] versioning rules in [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Standards Section 6 “Technical Notes”, paragraph “4.3 Versioning”.
--//MaintainableArtefact// further adds the ability for derived classes to be maintained via its association to an //Organisation//, and adds locational information (i.e., from where the object can be retrieved).

  The inheritance chain from //AnnotableArtefact// through to //MaintainableArtefact// allows [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] classes to inherit the features they need, from simple [[annotation>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Annotation.WebHome]], through identity, naming, to versioning and maintenance.

--The Structure Pattern is a basic architectural pattern which allows the specification of complex tabular structures which are often found in statistical data (such as Data (% id="confict-imterms-88" %)Structure(%%) Definition, and Metadata (% id="confict-imterms-89" %)Structure(%%) Definition). 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.
