Overview
A Concept Scheme holds descriptive information for an arrangement or division of concepts into groups based on characteristics, which the objects have in common.
Structure Properties
| Structure Type | Standard SDMX Structural Metadata Artefact |
|---|---|
| Maintainable | Yes |
| Identifiable | Yes |
| Item Scheme | Yes |
| SDMX Information Model Versions | 1.0, 2.0, 2.1 |

Context within the SDMX 2.1 Information Model
The schematic illustrates the core artefacts of the SDMX 2.1 Information Model, and how Concepts Schemes and Concepts fit in.
Concepts are referenced directly by Data Structure Definitions (DSD). Concepts can also be linked to Codelists to explicitly define the set of legal values for enumerated Dimensions or Attributes.
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 |
