Overview
Identifiable structures are identified by a unique ID.
Maintainable and Nameable structures are also Identifiable and therefore must have an ID, but in addition have a Name, and an optional Description.
ID
An ID is a string that is mandatory for Identifiable structures and serves as a unique reference as part of each structure's URN.
| Allowable Content | Example |
|---|---|
| Alpha Numeric | A-Z a-z 0-9 |
| Dollar | $ |
| Hyphen | - |
| Underscore | _ |
By covention, IDs are uppercase, but lowercase characters can also be used.
ID Examples:
| Header text | Header text |
|---|---|
| Agency | SDMX |
| Agency | IMF |
| Concept Scheme | CROSS_DOMAIN_CONCEPTS |
| CL_REF_AREA | |
| ECOFIN_DSD | |
| WDI_HEALTH |
