  A Gregorian time period is always represented by a Gregorian year, year-month, or day. These are all based on ISO 8601 dates. The representation in SDMX-ML messages and the period covered by each of the Gregorian time periods are as follows:

  This is used to unambiguously state that a date-time represents an observation at a single point in time. Therefore, if one wants to use SDMX for data which is measured at a distinct point in time rather than being reported over a period, the date-time representation can be used.

  The meaning of a reporting year is always based on the start day of the year and requires that the reporting year is expressed as the year at the start of the period. 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. In the absence of this attribute, the reporting year start date is assumed to be January 1; therefore if the reporting year coincides with the calendar year, this Attribute is not necessary.
