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).

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".
