--The //ItemScheme// is an abstract class which defines a set of //Item// (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:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX Information Model.WebHome]]. It is derived from //MaintainableArtefact// which gives it the ability to be annotated, have identity, naming, versioning and be associated with an Agency.

--In an exchange environment an //ItemScheme// is allowed to contain a sub-set of the //Item//s in the maintained //ItemScheme//.

--A “partial” //ItemScheme// cannot be maintained independently in its partial form i.e., it cannot contain //Item//s that are not present in the full //ItemScheme// and the content of any one //Item //(e.g., names and descriptions) cannot deviate from the content in the full //ItemScheme//. Furthermore, the id of the //ItemScheme// where isPartial is set to "true" is the same as the id of the full //ItemScheme// (agencyId, id, [[version>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Version.WebHome]]). This is important as this is the id that that is referenced in other structures (e.g., a [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] referenced in a [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]]) and this id is always the same, regardless of whether the disseminated //ItemScheme// is the full //ItemScheme// or a partial //ItemScheme//.
