The group can consist of either a subset of the [[dimensions>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] defined by the [[data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]], or an association to an attachment (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)constraint(%%), which in turn defines key sets to which [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] can be attached. In the case that the group is based on an attachment (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)constraint(%%), only the identification of group is provided. It is expected that a system which is processing this will relate that identifier to the key sets defined in the (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)constraint(%%) and apply the values provided for the [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] appropriately. [[Data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] schemas will drive types based on this for each group defined in the [[data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]]. Both the [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] values which make up the key (if applicable) and the [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] values associated with the group will be represented with XML [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]. This is specified in the content model with the declaration of anyAttributes in the "local" namespace. The derived group type will refine this structure so that the [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] are explicit. The XML [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] will be given a name based on the [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]]'s identifier.

If additional [[attributes>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] are required, these should be qualified with a namespace so that a generic application can easily distinguish them as not being meant to represent a [[data structure definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] or [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]].
