  The Added Value and Looking Beyond SDMX 3.0

Now it is possible with SDMX 3.0  Reuse reference metadata sets attached to structures or lower level components  Have DSD attributes with enhanced “presentation capabilities”  Use SDMX datasets as geospatial input data for GIS applications  Store, exchange and process microdata in SDMX  Make use of global codelists without having to worry about its maintenance  Choose dynamically the variant of a classification depending on the context defined by a Dataflow or a Provision Agreement Now it is possible with SDMX 3.0  Make minor artefacts’ updates not affecting dependencies  Use simpler structure sets to store and share concepts’ mappings  Implement multiple hierarchies in a much simpler and intuitive way than HCL  Use Annotations to drive processes and data visualization  Make queries on non-series aspects such as “give me all break- in-series observations”, or complex queries involving logical operators  Retrieve data from multiple dataflows sharing a single DSD with just one query Questions?
