IsGenerated¶
- Type
- boolean
- Cardinality
- 0..1
Indicates whether or not the Classification Item has been generated to make the Level to which it belongs complete.
IsValid¶
- Type
- boolean
- Cardinality
- 0..1
If updates are allowed in the Statistical Classification, a Classification Item may be restricted in its validity, i.e. it may become valid or invalid after the Statistical Classification has been released. Indicates whether or not the Classification Item is currently valid.
ValidFrom¶
- Type
- DateType
- Cardinality
- 0..1
Date from which the Classification Item became valid. The date must be defined if the Classification Item belongs to a floating Statistical Classification.
ValidTo¶
- Type
- DateType
- Cardinality
- 0..1
Date at which the Classification Item became invalid. The date must be defined if the Classification Item belongs to a floating Statistical Classification and is no longer valid.
FutureEvents¶
- Type
- StructuredStringType
- Cardinality
- 0..1
The future events describe a change (or a number of changes) related to an invalid Classification Item. These changes may e.g. have turned the now invalid Classification Item into one or several successor Classification Items. In describing these changes, terminology from the Typology of item changes, found in Appendix 3 should be used. This allows the possibility to follow successors of the Classification Item in the future.
SuccessorClassificationItem¶
- Type
- ClassificationItem
- Cardinality
- 0..n
Future events may e.g. have turned the now invalid Classification Item into one or several successor Classification Items, listed here
ChangesFromPriorVersion¶
- Type
- StructuredStringType
- Cardinality
- 0..1
Describes the changes, which the Classification Item has been subject to from the previous version to the actual Statistical Classification. In describing these changes, terminology from the Typology of item changes, found in Appendix 3 of GSIM should be used.
Updates¶
- Type
- StructuredStringType
- Cardinality
- 0..1
Describes the changes, which the Classification Item has been subject to during the life time of the actual Statistical Classification.
ParentClassificationItem¶
- Type
