Maintainable V11

Overview

An Maintainable structure is one that is owned and can be independently created and maintained by an Agency.

A Data Structure Definition is maintainable because it does not have to be managed as part of any other structure. By contrast, a Code is not maintainable because because it must always be managed under a Codelist.

A Maintainable structure is both Inentifiable and Nameable, it also must contain a reference to the Agency that is responsible for maintaining it.

Maintainable Structures

The following lists all the maintainable structures which the Fusion Metadata Registry supports. Note, some of these structures are not part of the SDMX Specification. Structures which are part of the SDMX specification are indicated in the SDMX Version column which is used to indicate which version of SDMX the structure was introduced in. For non-SDMX structures the entry in this column is N/A.
