SDMX Code List Structure Module
The code list structure module defines the structure of code list and code constructs.
CodelistType defines the structure of a codelist. A codelist is defined as a list from which some statistical concepts (coded concepts) take their values.
The id attribute holds the identification of the code list. The type of this id is restricted to the common:NCNNameIDType. This is necessary, since the code list may be used to create simple types in data and metadata structure specific schemas and therefore must be compliant with the NCName type in XML Schema (see common:NCNameIDType for further details).
Code describes a code in a codelist. In addition to the identification and description of the code, basic presentational information is also available. Presentational information not present may be added through the use of annotations.
CodeType describes the structure of a code. A code is defined as a language independent set of letters, numbers or symbols that represent a concept whose meaning is described in a natural language. Presentational information not present may be added through the use of annotations.
Name provides for a human-readable name for the object. This may be provided in multiple, parallel language-equivalent forms. It may be used in place of a short description.
Description provides a plain text, human-readable description of the code. This may be provided in multiple, parallel language-equivalent forms.
Parent provides the ability to describe simple hierarchies within a single codelist, by referencing the id value of another code in the same codelist.
