Guidelines for Confidentiality and Embargo in SDMX

The "Guidelines for Confidentiality and Embargo in SDMX" cover the confidentiality aspects in SDMX data exchange, including embargo scenarios. The aim is to provide a consistent and practical way to represent these aspects in SDMX artefacts in order to promote cross-domain consistency and harmonise methodology and processes. The paper presents the use case scenarios related to confidentiality and embargo. Based on the use cases, recommendations are provided on how to represent both elements in the SDMX model.
