7 7  The first change in the data and metadata message is one of terminology. In order to foster consistency in the standard, the names and namespaces of the data and metadata message have been changed. The namespaces now have a uniform format of /data/format and /metadata/format. This also applies to the message names as well, where the names follow the pattern of FormatData (e.g. StructuredData and GenericMetadata).

9 -For data messages, since version 3.0 only the (data-)structure-specific format is maintained, the generic format being deprecated. The structure-specific data message combines the principles of the former compact and cross-sectional formats into one more generalised format. All data can be exchanged as either an un-grouped collection of observations, each specifying a full key, or it can be exchanged as data grouped into [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] with any single [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] placed at the observation level.

11 11  A base schema now imposes a strict format for the generated structure-specific schemas. This not only allows performing the required validations, but the messages will also be much simpler to process as the format will always use the same element names.

A derived [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]] type will be created that is specific to a [[data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] and the details of the organisation of the data (i.e. which [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] is the observation [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]]). Data is organised into either a collection of [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] (grouped observations) or a collection of un-grouped observations. The derived [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]] type will restrict this choice to be either grouped or un-grouped observations. If this [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] is "AllDimensions" then the derived [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]] type must consist of a collection of un-grouped observations; otherwise, the [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]] will contain a collection of [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] with the observations in the [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] disambiguated by the specified [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Dimension.WebHome]] at the observation level. This [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]] is capable of containing data (observed values) and/or documentation (data and metadata [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]] values) and can be used for [[incremental updates>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Incremental update.WebHome]] and deletions (i.e. only the relevant updates or deletes are exchanged). It is assumed that each [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] or un-grouped observation will be distinct in its purpose. For example, if [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] contains both data and documentation, it assumed that each [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] will have a unique key. If the [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] contains only data or only documentation, then it is possible that another [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]] with the same key might exist, but with not with the same purpose (i.e. to provide data or documentation) as the first [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]]. This base type is designed such that derived types can be processed in a generic manner; it assures that [[data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] specific data will have a consistent structure. The group, [[series>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Series.WebHome]], obs, and atts elements are unqualified, meaning that they are not qualified with a namespace in an instance. This means that in the derived [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data set.WebHome]] types, the elements will always be the same, regardless of the target namespace of the schemas which defines these derived types. This allows for consistent processing of the structure without regard to what the namespace might be for the [[data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Data structure definition.WebHome]] specific schema.

380 380  It is assumed that in order to use this guide, the reader is familiar with schema terminology. However, for convenience the following is list of the terminology used here:
381 381  
382 382  **Schema:** Refers to the format specific schema in general, and in particular the root xs:schema element of that schema file.
383 383  
384 -**Global Element:** Refers to an element definition at the top level of the schema (i.e. an xs:element element in the root xs:schema element). It will define a name and type (name and type [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]) and possibly a substitution group (substitutionGroup [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]).
382 +**Global Element:** Refers to an element definition at the top (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%) of the schema (i.e. an xs:element element in the root xs:schema element). It will define a name and type (name and type [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]) and possibly a substitution group (substitutionGroup [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]).
385 385  
386 -**Local Element:** Refers to an element definition within a complex type (i.e. an xs:element element contained within a xs:sequence element that is contained in a xs:complexType element). A local element must define a name and type (name and type [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]) and may also specify a minimum and maximum occurrence (minOccurs and maxOccurs [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]).
384 +**Local Element:** Refers to an element definition within a complex type (i.e. an xs:element element contained within a xs:sequence element that is contained in a xs:complexType element). A local element must define a name and type (name and type [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]) and may also specify a minimum and maximum occurrence (minOccurs and maxOccurs [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]).
387 387  
388 388  **Qualified/Unqualified Element:** A qualified element is an element that must be referred to by the namespace in which it was defined. An unqualified element does not have a namespace associated with it. The structure-specific schemas make use of unqualified elements to that the structure-specific schemas can restrict the base content to meet the specific needs of the structure, while maintaining as much of the original document structure as possible.
389 389  
390 -**Element Reference:** Refers to an element definition within a complex type that is a reference to a global element (i.e. an xs:element element contained within a xs:sequence element that is contained in a xs:complexType element). An element reference must reference a global element (via its ref [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]) and may also specify a minimum and maximum occurrence (minOccurs and maxOccurs [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]).
388 +**Element Reference:** Refers to an element definition within a complex type that is a reference to a global element (i.e. an xs:element element contained within a xs:sequence element that is contained in a xs:complexType element).

391 391  
392 -**Complex Type:** Refers to a complex type definition. In this context, all complex type definitions occur at the top level of the schema (i.e. an xs:complexType element in the root xs:schema element). A complex type must define a name (name [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]) and may be made abstract (via the abstract [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]’s boolean value).
390 +**Complex Type:** Refers to a complex type definition.

393 393  
394 -**Simple Type:** Refers to a simple type definition. In this context, all simple type definitions occur at the top level of the schema (i.e. an xs:simpleType element in the root xs:schema element). In this context, a simple type will always be defined via a restriction (an xs:restriction element in the xs:simpleType element). The restriction will reference a base type.
392 +**Simple Type:** Refers to a simple type definition. In this context, all simple type definitions occur at the top (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)level(%%) of the schema (i.e. an xs:simpleType element in the root xs:schema element). In this context, a simple type will always be defined via a restriction (an xs:restriction element in the xs:simpleType element). The restriction will reference a base type.
395 395  
396 396  **Anonymous Type:** A complex or simple type definition which occurs within an element definition. The method is sometimes referred to a the "Russian-doll" technique as it creates nested constructs. Anonymous types are not given names and cannot be abstract. The can however, be derived from other types.
397 397  
398 398  **Content Group:** A group which defines a content model for reuse. This is contained in the xs:group element and is defined at the root of the schema. It allows for a common sequence or choice of elements to be reused across multiple types without having to redefine the sequence or choice in each type.
399 399  
400 -**Uniqueness Constraint:** A uniqueness constraint is defined within an element and is used to force descendent elements to be unique based on some criteria of it fields (elements or [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]). This is defined in an \ element and has content of an \ and multiple \ elements. The selector designates the descendants that must be unique (with an xpath [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]) and the field specifies which property of the selected element must be unique (also with an xpath [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]])
398 +**Uniqueness (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Constraint(%%):** A uniqueness (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)constraint(%%) is defined within an element and is used to force descendent elements to be unique based on some criteria of it fields (elements or [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]).

The selector designates the descendants that must be unique (with an xpath [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]) and the field specifies which property of the selected element must be unique (also with an xpath [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]])
401 401  
402 -**Extension:** Refers to the definition of a complex type that is an extension of another complex type. The extension will always make a reference to a base. In the schema, this is defined within the xs:complexType element as a child xs:complexContent element containing an xs:extension element (with a base [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary 2\.1.Attribute.WebHome]]).
