Identity
The diagram in the SDMX_2_1_Section_6_TechnicalNotes_2020-07 pdf file illustrates this hierarchical structure of the agencyID:
In the Registry, the SDMX Agency Scheme uses the prefix of SDMX and has The Identity of AGENCIES and the Name SDMX Agency Scheme. This will hold all the Agencies created in the Registry.
If a Sub Agency is created the prefix becomes the ID of the owning agency, with an ID of AGENCIES and the Name of AGENCIES as shown in the second image.
