Usage

Concepts are used by Dimensions, Attributes, Measures, and Metadata Attributes to provide them with a semantic meaning. Concepts can also be used to define a default representation, for example it is possible to link the Concept of Frequency to a Codelist containing all the Frequency Codes, any structure using the Concept will inherit the default representation.

Conventions

Concept Scheme IDs IDs are conventionally uppercase using underscores '_' as separators if required. Examples:

Agency Concept Scheme ID Description SDMX-ML
ESTAT CS_NA List of concepts for National Accounts DSDs SDMX-ML
UIS CS_BOP Balance of Payments Concept Scheme SDMX-ML
IMF CS_EDUC_UOE EDUC_UOE Concept Scheme SDMX-ML
SDMX CROSS_DOMAIN_CONCEPTS SDMX Gross Domain Concept Scheme SDMX-ML
