Standard Schemas

PDF file SDMXMessage.xsd
This is the schema file used by all SDMX messages for describing the common header information.

PDF file SDMXCommon.xsd
This is the schema file providing some common type definitions used in other SDMX-ML schemas.

PDF file xml.xsd
This schema is included for convenience, as it is required by the SDMXCommon.xsd schema. It provides for the use of the xml:lang attribute.

PDF file SDMXStructure.xsd
This schema provides for SDMX-ML structural descriptions: agencies, codelists, concepts, metadata structure definitions, key families, structure sets, reporting taxonomies, hierarchical codelists, and processes.

PDF file SDMXRegistry.xsd
This schema provides for SDMX-ML registry interfaces for submitting, registering, and querying an SDMX registry, and for subscribing and notification of registry events.

PDF file SDMXGenericData.xsd
This schema provides a generic format for statistical data in a time-series presentation. It is not specific to the use of a specific key family.

PDF file SDMXGenericMetadata.xsd
This schema provides a generic format for reference metadata. It is not specific to the use of a specific metadata structure definition.

PDF file SDMXCompactData.xsd
This is a base schema which is extended by users into key-family-specific schemas owned by their creator, which are optimized for marking up large amounts of time-series data. (See Section 03A SDMX-ML for standard mappings from a key family to a key-family-specific schema).

PDF file SDMXUtilityData.xsd
This is a base schema which is extended by users into key-family-specific schemas owned by their creator, which are optimized for validation with a generic XML parser. (See Section 03A SDMX-ML for standard mappings from a key family to a key-family-specific schema).

PDF file SDMXCrossSectionalData.xsd
This is a base schema which is extended by users into key-family-specific schemas owned by their creator, which are optimized for marking up large amounts of cross-sectional data. (See Section 03A SDMX-ML for standard mappings from a key family to a key-family-specific schema).

PDF file SDMXMetadataReport.xsd
This is a base schema which is extended by users into metadata-structure-specific schemas owned by their creator. (See Section 03A SDMX-ML for standard mappings from a metadata structure definition to a metadata-structure-specific metadata report schema).

PDF file SDMXQuery.xsd
This is a schema for creating queries for SDMX-ML structures or data files.
