  There are also a number of SDMX-ML data types which do not have these direct correspondences, often because they are composite representations or restrictions of a broader data type. For most of these, there are simple types which can be referenced from the SDMX schemas, for others a derived simple type will be necessary:

  There are also cases, though, that data types cannot be mapped like above. One such case is the array data type, which was introduced in SDMX 3.0 as a new representation. In JSON schema an array is already natively foreseen, while in the XML schema, this has to be defined as a complex type, with an SDMX specific definition (i.e., specific element/attribute names for SDMX). Beyond that, the minimum and/or maximum number of items within an array is possible in both cases.

This start day is always the same for a reporting year, and is expressed as a day and a month (e.g. July 1). Therefore, the reporting year 2000 with a start day of July 1 begins on July 1, 2000.

++A specialized attribute (reporting year start day) exists for the purpose of communicating the reporting year start day. This attribute has a fixed identifier (REPORTING_YEAR_START_DAY) and a fixed representation (xs:gMonthDay) so that it can always be easily identified and processed in a data message. Although this attribute exists in specialized sub-class, it functions the same as any other attribute outside of its identification and representation. It must takes its identity from a concept and state its relationship with other components of the data structure definition. The ability to state this relationship allows this reporting year start day attribute to exist at the appropriate levels of a data message.

  It has been possible since SDMX 2.0 for a Component to specify a representation of a time span. Depending on the format of the data message, this resulted in either an element with 2 XML attributes for holding the start time and the duration or two separate XML attributes based on the underlying Component identifier. For example, if REF_PERIOD were given a representation of time span, then in the Compact data format, it would be represented by two XML attributes; REF_PERIODStartTime (holding the start) and REF_PERIOD (holding the duration). If a new simple type is introduced in the SDMX schemas that can hold ISO 8601 time intervals, then this will no longer be necessary. What was represented as this:

++== 4.3 Versioning ==
  Versioning operates at the level of versionable and maintainable objects in the SDMX information model. Within the SDMX Structure and MetadataSet messages, there is a well-defined pattern for artefact versioning and referencing. The artefact identifiers are qualified by their version numbers – that is, an object with an Agency of "A", and ID of "X" and a version of "1.0.0" is a different object than one with an Agency of "A", an ID of "X", and a version of "1.1.0".

  The production versions of identifiable artefacts are assumed stable, i.e., they do not have an EXTENSION. This is because once in production, an artefact cannot change in any way, or it must change the version. For cases where an artefact is not static, like during the drafting, the version must indicate this by including an EXTENSION. Draft artefacts should not be used outside of a specific system designed to accommodate them. For most purposes, all artefacts should become stable before being used in production.

++=== 4.3.3 Legacy-versioned artefacts ===
  Organisations wishing to keep a maximum of backwards compatibility with existing implementations can continue using the previous 2-digit convention for version numbers (MAJOR.MINOR) as in the past, such as '2.3', but without the ‘isFinal’ property. The new SDMX 3.0 standard does not add any strict rules or guarantees about changes in those artefacts, since the legacy versioning rules were rather loose and non-binding, including the meaning of the ‘isFinal’ property, and their implementations were varying.
  In order to make artefacts immutable or changes truly predictable, a move to the new semantic versioning syntax is required.

  When querying for structural metadata, the ability to state how references should be resolved is quite powerful. However, this mechanism is not always necessary and can create an undue burden on the systems processing the queries if it is not used properly.

  When the referenced object is not known, then the reference resolution mechanism could be used. For example, suppose one wanted to find all category schemes and the related categorisations for a given maintenance agency. In this case, one could query for the category scheme by the maintenance agency and specify that parent and sibling references should be resolved. This would result in the categorisations which reference the categories in the matched schemes to be returned, as well as the object which they categorise.
