It is similar to the package for [[concept scheme>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Concept scheme.WebHome]].

Importantly, as will be seen later, the individual nodes in the scheme (the “[[categories>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Category.WebHome]]”) can be associated to any set of IdentiableArtefacts in a [[Categorisation>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Categorisation.WebHome]].
