Structure Set
Maintainable collection of Structure Maps that link Components together in a source/target relationship where there is a semantic equivalence between the source and the target Components.
The Structure Set can contain maps between two Item Schemes of the same type: Codelist, Concept Scheme, Organisation Unit Scheme, Data Provider Scheme, Data Consumer Scheme. The Structure Set can also contain a map between two Data Structures i.e. map of the Dimensions and Attributes and corresponding code values where these are also mapped.
A typical use of Structure Sets is to provide mappings between an SDMX data structure used in an internal system with an SDMX structure of an external dataset when imported to or exported from the internal system.
