  An ObservationValue can be coded – this is the CodedObservation – or it can be uncoded – this is the UncodedObservation. In the case of uncoded observations, the values may be multilingual – expressed via the TextMeasureValue – or not (OtherUncodedMeasureValue).
--The GroupKey is a subunit of the //Key// that has the same dimensionality as the SeriesKey but defines a subset of the KeyValues of the SeriesKey. Its sub [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] structure is defined in the GroupDimensionDescriptor of the DataStructureDefinition identified by the same id as the GroupKey. The id identifies a “type” of group and the purpose of the GroupKey is to report one or more //AttributeValue// that are contained at this group (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%). The GroupKey is present when the GroupDimensionDescriptor is related to the GroupRelationship in the DataStructureDefinition. There can be many types of groups in a //[[DataSet>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]]//. If the Group is related to the DimensionRelationship in the DataStructureDefinition then the //AttributeValue// will be reported with the appropriate [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] in the SeriesKey or Observation.
