41 The Codelist inherits from the //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]// and therefore has the following [[attributes>>doc:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]: [[id>>doc:IMElements.id.WebHome]] [[uri>>doc:IMElements.uri.WebHome]] [[urn>>doc:IMElements.urn.WebHome]] [[version>>doc:Glossary.Version.WebHome]] validFrom validTo [[isExternalReference>>doc:Glossary.isExternalReference.WebHome]] serviceURL structureURL isPartial
42
43 The [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] inherits from //[[Item>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.WebHome]]// and has the following [[attributes>>doc:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]:
44
45 [[id>>doc:IMElements.id.WebHome]]
46 [[uri>>doc:IMElements.uri.WebHome]]
47 [[urn>>doc:IMElements.urn.WebHome]]
48
49 Both Codelist and [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] have the association to [[InternationalString>>doc:IMElements.InternationalString.WebHome]] to support a multilingual [[name>>doc:IMElements.name.WebHome]], an optional multi-lingual [[description>>doc:IMElements.description.WebHome]], and an association to [[Annotation>>doc:Glossary.Annotation.WebHome]] to support notes (not shown).
50
51 Through the inheritance the Codelist comprise one or more [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]], and the [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] itself can have one or more [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] in the (inherited) [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]] association. Note that a [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] can have only one [[parent>>doc:IMElements.parent.WebHome]] [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] in this association. A more complex Hierarhcy, which allows multiple parents is described later.
52
53 A partial Codelist (where isPartial is set to 'true') is identical to a Codelist and contains the [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] and associated names and descriptions, just as in a normal Codelist. However, its content is a subset of the full Codelist. The way this works is described in section [[3.5.3.1>>doc:Methodology.SDMX 3\.1 Standards\. Section 2\. Information model.3 SDMX Base Package.WebHome||anchor="H3.5.3.1Narrative"]] on //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]//.

80 A Codelist may extend other Codelists via the [[CodelistExtension>>doc:IMElements.CodelistExtension.WebHome]] class. The latter, via the [[sequence>>doc:IMElements.sequence.WebHome]], indicates the order of precedence of the extended Codelists for conflict resolution of [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]]. Besides that, the [[prefix>>doc:IMElements.prefix.WebHome]] property is used to ensure uniqueness of inherited [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] in the extending[[(% class="wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink" %)^^~[1~]^^>>path:#_ftn1]](%%) Codelist in case conflicting [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] must be included in the latter. Each [[CodelistExtension>>doc:IMElements.CodelistExtension.WebHome]] association may include one [[InclusiveCodeSelection>>doc:IMElements.CodeSelection.InclusiveCodeSelection.WebHome]] or one [[ExclusiveCodeSelection>>doc:IMElements.CodeSelection.ExclusiveCodeSelection.WebHome]]; those allow including or excluding a specific selection of [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] from the extended Codelists.
81
82 The [[code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] selection classes may have MemberValues in order to specify the subset of the [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] that should be included or excluded from the extended Codelist. A [[MemberValue>>doc:IMElements.SelectionValue.MemberValue.WebHome]] may have a value that corresponds to a [[Code>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]], including its children [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] (via the cascadeValues property), or even include instances of the wildcard character ‘%’ in order to point to a set of [[Codes>>doc:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] with common parts in their identifiers.

The purpose of the [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]] is to relate [[concepts>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]] that have a semantic relationship: for example, a Reporting_Country and Vis_a_Vis_Country may both have Country as a [[parent>>doc:IMElements.parent.WebHome]] [[concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]], or a [[CONTACT>>doc:Glossary.Contact.WebHome]] may have a PRIMARY_CONTACT as a [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]]. It is not the purpose of such schemes to define reporting structures: these reporting structures are defined in the [[MetadataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.MetadataStructureDefinition.WebHome]].
245
246 The [[Concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]] can be associated with a coreRepresentation. The coreRepresentation is the specification of the format and value domain of the [[Concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]] when used on a [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]] like a [[DataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.DataStructureDefinition.WebHome]] or a [[MetadataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.MetadataStructureDefinition.WebHome]], unless the specification of the [[Representation>>doc:Glossary.Representation.WebHome]] is overridden in the relevant [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]] definition. In a hierarchical [[ConceptScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ConceptScheme.WebHome]] the [[Representation>>doc:Glossary.Representation.WebHome]] is inherited from the [[parent>>doc:IMElements.parent.WebHome]] [[Concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]] unless overridden at the level of the [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]].
247
248 The [[Representation>>doc:Glossary.Representation.WebHome]] is documented in more detail in the section on the [[SDMX>>doc:Glossary.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Base.
249
250 The [[Concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]] may be related to a [[concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]] described in terms of the ISO/IEC 11179 standard. The [[ISOConceptReference>>doc:IMElements.ISOConceptReference.WebHome]] identifies this [[concept>>doc:Glossary.Concept.WebHome]] and [[concept scheme>>doc:Glossary.Concept scheme.WebHome]] in which it is contained.

277
278 This package defines the [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]] that supports the definition of and relationships between [[categories>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] in a [[category scheme>>doc:Glossary.Category scheme.WebHome]]. It is similar to the package for [[concept scheme>>doc:Glossary.Concept scheme.WebHome]]. An example of a [[category scheme>>doc:Glossary.Category scheme.WebHome]] is one which categorises data – sometimes known as a subject matter domain scheme or a data [[category scheme>>doc:Glossary.Category scheme.WebHome]]. Importantly, as will be seen later, the individual nodes in the scheme (the “[[categories>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]]”) can be associated to any set of IdentiableArtefacts in a [[Categorisation>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Categorisation.WebHome]].

290 The [[categories>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] are modelled as a hierarchical //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]//. The [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]] inherits from the //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]// and has the following [[attributes>>doc:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]:

305 [[id>>doc:IMElements.id.WebHome]]
306 [[uri>>doc:IMElements.uri.WebHome]]
307 [[urn>>doc:IMElements.urn.WebHome]]
308
309 Both [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]] and [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] have the association to [[InternationalString>>doc:IMElements.InternationalString.WebHome]] to support a multi-lingual [[name>>doc:IMElements.name.WebHome]], an optional multi-lingual [[description>>doc:IMElements.description.WebHome]], and an association to [[Annotation>>doc:Glossary.Annotation.WebHome]] to support notes (not shown on the model).
310
311 Through the inheritance the [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]] comprise one or more [[Categorys>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]], and the [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] itself can have one or more [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] in the (inherited) [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]] association. Note that a [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] can have only one [[parent>>doc:IMElements.parent.WebHome]] [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] in this association.
312
313 A partial [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]] (where isPartial is set to “true”) is identical to a [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]] and contains the [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] and associated names and descriptions, just as in a normal [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]]. However, its content is a subset of the full [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]]. The way this works is described in section [[3.5.3.1>>doc:Methodology.SDMX 3\.1 Standards\. Section 2\. Information model.3 SDMX Base Package.WebHome||anchor="H3.5.3.1Narrative"]] on [[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]].

320
321 The CategoryScheme can have one or more [[Categorys>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]]. The [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] is Identifiable and has identity information. A [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] can have zero or more child [[Categorys>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]], thus supporting a [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]] of [[Categorys>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]]. Any IdentifiableArtefact can be +categorisedBy a [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]]. This is achieved by means of a Categorisation. Each Categorisation can associate one IdentifiableArtefact with one [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]]. Multiple Categorisations can be used to build a set of IdentifiableArtefacts that are +categorisedBy the same [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]]. Note that there is no navigation (i.e. no embedded reference) to the Categorisation from the [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]]. From an implementation perspective this is necessary as Categorisation has no effect on the versioning of either the CategoryScheme or the IdentifiableArtefact.

450 ==== 4.8.2.1 Narrative ====
451
452 In some data reporting environments, and in particular those in primary reporting, a report may comprise a variety of heterogeneous data, each described by a different //[[Structure>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.WebHome]]//. Equally, a specific disseminated or published report may also comprise a variety of heterogeneous data. The definition of the set of linked sub reports is supported by the [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]].
453
454 The [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]] is a specialised form of //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]//. Each [[ReportingCategory>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.ReportingCategory.WebHome]] of the [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]] can link to one or more //[[StructureUsage>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.WebHome]]// which itself can be one of [[Dataflow>>doc:Glossary.Dataflow.WebHome]], or [[Metadataflow>>doc:Glossary.Metadataflow.WebHome]], and one or more //[[Structure>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.WebHome]]//, which itself can be one of [[DataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.DataStructureDefinition.WebHome]] or [[MetadataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.MetadataStructureDefinition.WebHome]]. It is expected that within a specific [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]] each [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] that is linked in this way will be linked to the same class (e.g. all [[Category>>doc:Glossary.Category.WebHome]] in the scheme will link to a [[Dataflow>>doc:Glossary.Dataflow.WebHome]]). Note that a [[ReportingCategory>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.ReportingCategory.WebHome]] can have [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[ReportingCategory>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.ReportingCategory.WebHome]] and in this way it is possible to define a hierarchical [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]]. It is possible in this taxonomy that some [[ReportingCategory>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.ReportingCategory.WebHome]] are defined just to give a reporting [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]]. For instance:
455
456 Section 1
457
458 1. linked to Datafow_1
459 1. linked to Datafow_2
460
461 Section 2
462
463 1. linked to Datafow_3
464 1. linked to Datafow_4
465
466 Here, the nodes of Section 1 and Section 2 would not be linked to [[Dataflow>>doc:Glossary.Dataflow.WebHome]] but the other would be linked to a [[Dataflow>>doc:Glossary.Dataflow.WebHome]] (and hence the [[DataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.DataStructureDefinition.WebHome]]).
467
468 A partial [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]] (where isPartial is set to “true”) is identical to a [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]] and contains the [[ReportingCategory>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.ReportingCategory.WebHome]] and associated names and descriptions, just as in a normal [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]]. However, its content is a sub set of the full [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]] The way this works is described in section [[3.5.3.1>>doc:Methodology.SDMX 3\.1 Standards\. Section 2\. Information model.3 SDMX Base Package.WebHome||anchor="H3.5.3.1Narrative"]] on //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]//.
