7		-The DataStructureDefiniton is the class name for a structure definition for data. Some organisations know this type of definition as a “Key Family” and so the two names are synonymous. The term [[Data Structure Definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] (also referred to as [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]]) is used in this specification.
	7	+The DataStructureDefiniton is the class [[name>>doc:IMElements.name.WebHome]] for a [[structure>>doc:IMElements.structure.WebHome]] definition for data. Some organisations know this [[type>>doc:IMElements.type.WebHome]] of definition as a “[[Key>>doc:IMElements.AnnotableArtefact.Key.WebHome]] Family” and so the two names are synonymous. The term [[Data Structure Definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] (also referred to as [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]]) is used in this specification.

9	9	Many of the constructs in this layer of the model inherit from the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Base Layer. Therefore, it is necessary to study both the inheritance and the relationship diagrams to understand the functionality of individual packages. In simple sub models these are shown in the same diagram but are omitted from the more complex sub models for the sake of clarity. In these cases, the inheritance diagram below shows the full inheritance tree for the classes concerned with [[data structure definitions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]].

11		-There are very few additional classes in this sub model other than those shown in the inheritance diagram below. In other words, the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Base gives most of the structure of this sub model both in terms of associations and in terms of [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]. The relationship diagrams shown in this section show clearly when these associations are inherited from the [[SDMX>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Statistical data and metadata exchange.WebHome]] Base (see the Appendix “A Short Guide to UML in the [[SDMX Information Model>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.SDMX Information Model.WebHome]]” to see the diagrammatic notation used to depict this).
