--The business vision for SDMX envisages the promotion of a “data sharing” model to facilitate low-cost, high-quality statistical data and metadata exchange. Data sharing reduces the reporting burden of organisations by allowing them to publish data once and let their counterparties “pull” data and related metadata as required. The scenario is based on:

Data sharing reduces the reporting burden of organisations by allowing them to publish data once and let their counterparties “pull” data and related metadata as required. The scenario is based on:
--* the availability of an abstract information model capable of supporting time series and cross-sectional data, structural metadata, and reference metadata (SDMX-IM)
--* standardised XML and JSON schemas for the SDMX-ML and SDMX-JSON formats derived from the model (XSD, JSON)
++* the availability of an abstract information model capable of supporting time series and cross-sectional data, [[structural metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Structural metadata.WebHome]], and [[reference metadata>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Reference metadata.WebHome]] ([[SDMX-IM>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.SDMX Information Model.WebHome]])

--However, it is important to emphasise that the SDMX-RR provides support for the submission and retrieval of all SDMX structural metadata and provisioning metadata. Therefore, the Registry not only supports the data-sharing scenario, but this metadata is also vital in order to provide support for data and metadata reporting/collection, and dissemination scenarios.

--As organisations migrate to SDMX enabled systems, many XML, JSON (and conventional) artefacts will be produced (e.g., Data Structure, Metadata Structure, Code List and Concept definitions – often collectively called structural metadata – XML schemas generated from data structure definitions, XSLT stylesheets for transformation and display of data and metadata, terminology references, etc.). The SDMX model supports interoperability, and it is important to be able to discover and share these artefacts between parties in a controlled and organized way.

--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.

  === 6.2.2 Universal Resource Name (URN) ===
  ==== 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.).

--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.

  == 7.3 Data and Metadata Constraints ==
  === 7.3.1 Data and Metadata Constraints: Basic Concepts ===
--Constraints are, effectively, lists of the valid or actual content of data and 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. A Constraint can comprise a list of keys or a list of content (usually code values) of a specific component such as a dimension or attribute.
++(% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Constraints(%%) are, effectively, lists of the valid or actual content of data and metadata. (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Constraints(%%) can be used to specify a subset of the theoretical content of [[data set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data set.WebHome]] or [[metadata set>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata set.WebHome]] which can be derived from the specification of the [[DSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] or [[MSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata structure definition.WebHome]]. A (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Constraint(%%) can comprise a list of keys or a list of content (usually [[code>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Code.WebHome]] values) of a specific [[component>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Component.WebHome]] such as a [[dimension>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dimension.WebHome]] or [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]].
--Constraints comprise the specification of subsets of key or attribute values that are to be provided for a Dataflow or Metadataflow, or directly attached to a Data Structure Definition or Metadata Structure Definition. This is important metadata because, for example, the full range of possibilities which is implied by the Data Structure Definition (e.g., the complete set of valid keys is the Cartesian product of all the values in the code lists for each of the Dimensions) is often more than is intended to be supplied according to a specific Dataflow.
++(% style="color:#e74c3c" %)Constraints(%%) comprise the specification of subsets of key or [[attribute>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Attribute.WebHome]] values that are to be provided for a [[Dataflow>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Dataflow.WebHome]] or [[Metadataflow>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadataflow.WebHome]], or directly attached to a [[Data Structure Definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Data structure definition.WebHome]] or [[Metadata Structure Definition>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata structure definition.WebHome]].

--Often a Data Provider will not be able to provide data for all key combinations, either because the combination itself is not meaningful, or simply because the provider does not have the data for that combination. In this case the Data Provider could constrain the data source (at the level of the Provision Agreement or the Data Provider) by supplying metadata that defines the key combinations or cube regions that are available. This is done by means of a Constraint. The Constraint is also used to define a code list subset which is used to populate a partial code list, and in generating a schema for data reporters to validate their datasets against.

--Furthermore, it is often useful to define subsets or views of the Data Structure Definition which restrict values in some code lists, especially where many such subsets restrict the same Data Structure Definition.
