Vocabulary for publishing SDMX statistical data in RDF
Data Structure Definition
A specialization of qb:DataStructureDefinition which additional constraints: if there are multiple measures then a MeasureDimensionProperty must be included in the DSD
Concept scheme
concept
Denotes an SDMX concept, used in the particular SDMX terminological sense, which is in principle narrower than skos:Concept
Concept role (abstract)
Abstract superclass of classes denoting statistical roles which be played by concepts
Frequency property
concept for a dimension or attribute that plays the role of frequency
Count property
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)
Entity property
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)
Time property
concept for a dimension that specifies the time of the observation of the primaryMeasure
Measure type property
concept for a dimension that plays the role of identifying a type of measure
Non-observation time property
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
Identity property
concept for a dimension or attribute that plays the role of an identifier which is taken from a known scheme of identifiers.
Primary measure property
concept for a measure that plays the role of the observation in a time series
measureType
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
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.
