39 The [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] inherits from the //[[ItemScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.WebHome]]// and therefore has the following [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]: [[id>>doc:IMElements.id.WebHome]] [[uri>>doc:IMElements.uri.WebHome]] [[urn>>doc:IMElements.urn.WebHome]] [[version>>doc:IMElements.version.WebHome]] [[validFrom>>doc:IMElements.validFrom.WebHome]] [[validTo>>doc:IMElements.validTo.WebHome]] [[isExternalReference>>doc:IMElements.isExternalReference.WebHome]] [[serviceURL>>doc:IMElements.serviceURL.WebHome]] [[structureURL>>doc:IMElements.structureURL.WebHome]] [[isPartial>>doc:IMElements.isPartial.WebHome]]
40
41 The [[Code>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Code.WebHome]] inherits from //[[Item>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.WebHome]]// and has the following [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]:
42
43 [[id>>doc:IMElements.id.WebHome]]
44 [[uri>>doc:IMElements.uri.WebHome]]
45 [[urn>>doc:IMElements.urn.WebHome]]
46
47 Both [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] and [[Code>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.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:IMElements.Annotation.WebHome]] to support notes (not shown).
48
49 Through the inheritance the [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] comprise one or more Codes, and the [[Code>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Code.WebHome]] itself can have one or more [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] Codes in the (inherited) [[hierarchy>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Hierarchy.WebHome]] association. Note that a [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Code>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Code.WebHome]] can have only one [[parent>>doc:IMElements.parent.WebHome]] [[Code>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Code.WebHome]] in this association. A more complex Hierarhcy, which allows multiple parents is described later.
50
51 A partial [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] (where [[isPartial>>doc:IMElements.isPartial.WebHome]] is set to 'true') is identical to a [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] and contains the [[Code>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Code.WebHome]] and associated names and descriptions, just as in a normal [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]]. However, its content is a subset of the full [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.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]]//.

76 A [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] may extend other [[Codelists>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] 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>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] for conflict resolution of Codes. Besides that, the [[prefix>>doc:IMElements.prefix.WebHome]] property is used to ensure uniqueness of inherited Codes in the extending[[(% class="wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink wikiinternallink" %)^^~[1~]^^>>path:#_ftn1]](%%) [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]] in case conflicting Codes must be included in the latter. Each [[CodelistExtension>>doc:IMElements.CodelistExtension.WebHome]] association may include one [[InclusiveCodeSelection>>doc:IMElements.InclusiveCodeSelection.WebHome]] or one [[ExclusiveCodeSelection>>doc:IMElements.ExclusiveCodeSelection.WebHome]]; those allow including or excluding a specific selection of Codes from the extended [[Codelists>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]].
77
78 The code selection classes may have MemberValues in order to specify the subset of the Codes that should be included or excluded from the extended [[Codelist>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Code list.WebHome]]. A [[MemberValue>>doc:IMElements.SelectionValue.MemberValue.WebHome]] may have a [[value>>doc:IMElements.value.WebHome]] that corresponds to a [[Code>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Code.WebHome]], including its children Codes (via the [[cascadeValues>>doc:IMElements.cascadeValues.WebHome]] property), or even include instances of the wildcard character ‘%’ in order to point to a set of Codes with common parts in their identifiers.

233
234 The [[ConceptScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ConceptScheme.WebHome]] can have one or more Concepts. A [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Concept.WebHome]] can have zero or more [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] Concepts, thus supporting a [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]] of Concepts. Note that a [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Concept.WebHome]] can have only one [[parent>>doc:IMElements.parent.WebHome]] [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Concept.WebHome]] in this association. The purpose of the [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]] is to relate concepts 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, or a CONTACT may have a PRIMARY_CONTACT as a [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] concept. 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]].
235
236 The [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Concept.WebHome]] can be associated with a coreRepresentation. The coreRepresentation is the specification of the format and value domain of the [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.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:IMElements.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:IMElements.Representation.WebHome]] is inherited from the [[parent>>doc:IMElements.parent.WebHome]] [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Concept.WebHome]] unless overridden at the level of the [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Concept.WebHome]].
237
238 The [[Representation>>doc:IMElements.Representation.WebHome]] is documented in more detail in the section on the [[SDMX>>doc:Glossary.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Base.
239
240 The [[Concept>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Concept.WebHome]] may be related to a concept described in terms of the ISO/IEC 11179 standard. The [[ISOConceptReference>>doc:IMElements.ISOConceptReference.WebHome]] identifies this concept and concept scheme in which it is contained.

267
268 This package defines the [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]] that supports the definition of and relationships between categories in a category scheme. It is similar to the package for concept scheme. An example of a category scheme is one which categorises data – sometimes known as a subject matter domain scheme or a data category scheme. Importantly, as will be seen later, the individual nodes in the scheme (the “categories”) can be associated to any set of IdentiableArtefacts in a [[Categorisation>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Categorisation.WebHome]].

311 The [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]] can have one or more Categorys. The [[Category>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]] is Identifiable and has identity information. A [[Category>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]] can have zero or more [[child>>doc:IMElements.child.WebHome]] Categorys, thus supporting a [[hierarchy>>doc:Glossary.Hierarchy.WebHome]] of Categorys. Any [[IdentifiableArtefact>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.WebHome]] can be +categorisedBy a [[Category>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]].

Each [[Categorisation>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Categorisation.WebHome]] can associate one [[IdentifiableArtefact>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.WebHome]] with one [[Category>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]]. Multiple Categorisations can be used to build a set of IdentifiableArtefacts that are +categorisedBy the same [[Category>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]]. Note that there is no navigation (i.e. no embedded reference) to the [[Categorisation>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Categorisation.WebHome]] from the [[Category>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]]. From an implementation perspective this is necessary as [[Categorisation>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Categorisation.WebHome]] has no effect on the versioning of either the [[CategoryScheme>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.CategoryScheme.WebHome]] or the [[IdentifiableArtefact>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.WebHome]].

441
442 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]].
443
444 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:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.Dataflow.WebHome]], or [[Metadataflow>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.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:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]] that is linked in this way will be linked to the same class (e.g. all [[Category>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.Item.Category.WebHome]] in the scheme will link to a [[Dataflow>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.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:
445
446 Section 1
447
448 1. linked to Datafow_1
449 1. linked to Datafow_2
450
451 Section 2
452
453 1. linked to Datafow_3
454 1. linked to Datafow_4
455
456 Here, the nodes of Section 1 and Section 2 would not be linked to [[Dataflow>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.Dataflow.WebHome]] but the other would be linked to a [[Dataflow>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.StructureUsage.Dataflow.WebHome]] (and hence the [[DataStructureDefinition>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.Structure.DataStructureDefinition.WebHome]]).
457
458 A partial [[ReportingTaxonomy>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.IdentifiableArtefact.NameableArtefact.VersionableArtefact.MaintainableArtefact.ItemScheme.ReportingTaxonomy.WebHome]] (where [[isPartial>>doc:IMElements.isPartial.WebHome]] 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]]//.
