Overview

A Dataflow defines a data 'topic' for collection or dissemination. A Dataflow must be linked to a Data Structure.

Structure Properties

Structure Type Standard SDMX Structural Metadata Artefact
Maintainable Yes
Identifiable Yes
Item Scheme No
SDMX Information Model Versions 2.0, 2.1
URN - datastructure.Dataflow namespace urn:sdmx:org.sdmx.infomodel.datastructure.Dataflow.

Context within the SDMX 2.1 Information Model

The schematic illustrates the core artifacts of the SDMX 2.1 Information Model, and how Dataflows fit in. A Dataflow requires a Data Structure, please refer to this article for more information on Data Structures.

Usage

In conjunction with a Provision Agreement, data can be loaded and validated against the concepts and rules and restrictions of as defined in it's Data Structure. A Dataflow may also have additional restrictions applied by virtue of any Content Constraints.

Conventions

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

Agency Concept Scheme ID Description SDMX-ML
ESTAT NAREG_T1200_A NA Regional Statistics SDMX-ML
IAEG-SDGs DF_SDG_GLC SDG Country Global Dataflow SDMX-ML
