++=== 5.2.7 Registry Behaviour ===
  The following table defines the behaviour of the SDMX Registry for the various Registry Interface messages. It should be noted, though, that as of SDMX 3.0, an extended versioning scheme newly including semantic versioning is foreseen for all Maintainable Artefacts. Moreover, while the old versioning scheme is allowed, given there is no more a "final" flag, there is no way guaranteeing the consistency across version of a Maintainable, unless semantic versioning is used.
  Given the above, the behaviour described in the following table concerns either draft Artefacts using semantic versioning or any Artefacts using the old versioning scheme. Nevertheless, in the case of semantic versioning the registry must respect the versioning rules when performing the actions below. For example, it is not possible to replace a non-draft Artefact that follows semantic versioning, unless a newer version is introduced according to the semantic versioning rules. Furthermore, even when draft Artefacts are submitted, the registry has to verify semantic versioning is respected against the previous non-draft versions. It is worth noting that the rules for semantic versioning and replacing or maintaining semantically versioned Artefacts applies to externally shared Artefacts. This means that any system may internally perform any change within a version of an Artefact, until the latter is shared outside of that system or becomes public. Then (as also explained in the SDMX Standards Section 6 “Technical Notes”) the Artefacts must adhere to the Semantic Versioning rules.

++==== 6.2.2.1 Introduction ====
  To provide interoperability between SDMX Registry/Repositories in a distributed network environment, it is important to have a scheme for uniquely identifying (and thus accessing) all first-class (Identifiable) SDMX-IM objects. Most of these unique identifiers are composite (containing maintenance agency, or parent object identifiers), and there is a need to be able to construct a unique reference as a single string. This is achieved by having a globally unique identifier called a universal resource name (URN) which is generated from the actual identification components in the SDMX-RR APIs. In other words, the URN for any Identifiable Artefact is constructed from its component identifiers (agency, id, version etc.).

  The Maintenance agency identifier is separated from the maintainable artefact identifier by a colon ‘:’. All other identifiers in the SDMX URN syntax are separated by a period ‘.’.

  The SDMX Registry must have the ability to support agencies in their role of defining and disseminating structural metadata artefacts. These artefacts include data structure definitions, code lists, concepts etc. and are fully defined in the SDMX-IM. An authenticated agency may submit valid structural metadata definitions which must be stored in the registry. Note that the term “structural metadata” refers as a general term to all structural components (Data Structure Definitions, Metadata Structure Definitions, Code Lists, Concept Schemes, etc.)

  Data/Metadata provisioning defines a framework in which the provision of different types of statistical data and metadata by various data/metadata providers can be specified and controlled. This framework is the basis on which the existence of data can be made known to the SDMX-enabled community and hence the basis on which data can subsequently be discovered. Such a framework can be used to regulate the data content to facilitate the building of intelligent applications. It can also be used to facilitate the processing implied by service level agreements, or other provisioning agreements in those scenarios that are based on legal directives. Additionally, quality and timeliness metadata can be supported by this framework which makes it practical to implement information supply chain monitoring.

  Although the Provision Agreement directly supports the data-sharing “pull” model, it is also useful in “push” exchanges (bilateral and gateway scenarios), or in a dissemination environment. It should be noted, too, that in any exchange scenario, the registry functions as a repository of structural metadata.

Constraints can be used to specify a subset of the theoretical content of data set or metadata set which can be derived from the specification of the DSD or MSD.

  SDMX-RR supports dataset registration via the Registration Request, which can be created by the Data Provider (giving the Data Provider maximum control). The registry responds to the registration request with a registration response which indicates if the registration was successful. In the event of an error, the error messages are returned as a registry exception within the response.
