Load Structures

Overview

Structures can be loaded into the registry in a number of ways but first you have to have some to load. If you already have structures to load, please skip to the Loading Structures Section below.

Obtaining Structures

All structures must be compliant with the SDMX Standard. See this article for a full list of Maintainable Structures. You can learn more about the Standards on the SDMX web sites.

Whilst you can easily create Structure from scratch, there are a number of other options available.

Using Export Structures options in another Registry

Please see this article which explains how to do this and where you can find the Metadata Technology Demo Site.

Using Web Services option in another Registry

Structures can be obtained using the Web Service option from another Registry. The image below shows the Demo Site with Web Services and Structure selected.

You can use the selection boxes to define what you want and then you can either download the structures OR copy the URL to use when Uploading.

Using Environmental Sync

See this article for more information on how to do this.

Loading Structures

Before you start

• To Load a Structure(s) you do need to be logged in to the Registry.
• To successfully load a Structure make sure that the owning Agency already exists (select Organisation from the main menu then Agencies).

Loading a Structure

On the home page of the Registry, at the top right of the page you will see the Load Structures button (as long as you are logged in).
