  **MetadataSetType:** MetadataSetType describes the structure for a metadata set, which contains a collection of reported metadata against a set of targets. The targets should conform to the restrictions described by the metadata provision or the metadataflow. Note that this is maintainable, and as such must specify in agency. In this case, the agency is the metadata provider. If a metadata provision agreement is referenced, it is assumed that the metadata provider described in the provision will be the same as the agency for this set.

  === 3.3.5 Representation with Value List Enumeration ===
  A representation which defines an enumeration from a value list will result in a simple type that is a restriction of the xs:string data type. The simple type will define enumerations for each value item in the value list. The value for these enumerations will be identifier of the item. If desired, the names of the item may be placed in the documentation of the enumeration, but this is not required.
