In fact, the [[MSD>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadata structure definition.WebHome]] is restricted to play the role of a single container, without targeting any specific [[Artefact>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Artefact.WebHome]].

To achieve that, the structure of the [[Metadataflow>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Metadataflow.WebHome]] has changed in this (% style="color:#e74c3c" %)version(%%) of the standard. Moreover, the Metadata [[Provision Agreement>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Provision agreement.WebHome]] [[Artefact>>doc:sdmx:Glossary.Artefact.WebHome]] is introduced to include this feature.
