Attribute Component

Structures

The role given to a Represented Variable in the context of a Data Structure, which supplies information other than identification or measures. 

For example:

• the embargo time (at which point the observation will be made publicly available)
• the base period of the data in the series

When there is an attribute in a Dimensional Data Structure, this sets a status to indicate whether it is mandatory or optional to include it in that particular Dimensional Data Set.

The description of what Level a certain attachment is at. For example in SDMX this could be Data Set, Observation, Series, Group.
