Data Structure Definition
type: Class
comment: A specialization of qb:DataStructureDefinition which additional constraints: if there are multiple measures then a MeasureDimensionProperty must be included in the DSD
subclass of: DataStructureDefinition

Concept scheme
type: Class
subclass of: ConceptScheme

concept
type: Class
subclass of: Concept
comment: Denotes an SDMX concept, used in the particular SDMX terminological sense, which is in principle narrower than skos:Concept

Concept role (abstract)
type: Class
subclass of: concept
comment: Abstract superclass of classes denoting statistical roles which be played by concepts

Frequency property
type: Class
comment: concept for a dimension or attribute that plays the role of frequency
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

Count property
type: Class
comment: concept for a dimension or attribute that plays the role of an identifier where the identifier is taken from a known system of counts (e.g. the Nth current dataset update for a given day)
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

Entity property
type: Class
comment: concept for a dimension or attribute that plays the role of the DataAttribute subject to whom the data refers (e.g. the reporting agent for primary reporting, the country for secondary reporting)
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

Time property
type: Class
comment: concept for a dimension that specifies the time of the observation of the primaryMeasure
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

Measure type property
type: Class
comment: concept for a dimension that plays the role of identifying a type of measure
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

Non-observation time property
type: Class
comment: concept for a dimension or attribute that plays the role of a date/time identifier in the KeyFamily which is not related to the time of the observation
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

Identity property
type: Class
comment: concept for a dimension or attribute that plays the role of an identifier which is taken from a known scheme of identifiers.
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

Primary measure property
type: Class
comment: concept for a measure that plays the role of the observation in a time series
subclass of: Concept role (abstract)

measureType
type: Measure type property
type: Concept role (abstract)
type: Concept
comment: The concept corresponding to the generic measure type dimension which indicates which measure is being denoted by the primary measure on an observation

primary measure
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
comment: Indicates an additional component used as the primary measure within the SDMX data. In the case of multi-measure data sets the RDF representation uses the specific measure rather than a subsuming overall measure. This property records the subsuming primary measure (typically sdmx-measure:obsValue) to enable round tripping of this information.
