Should any of the Classification Item attributes be at the Node level? (nb red items affected by Issue #96: Remove duplication in Classification objects)
Statistical Classification Attributes
| Name | Description | Cardinality | Value Domain |
| Name | A Statistical Classification has a name as provided by the owner or maintenance unit. | 1..1 | Textual |
| Introduction | The introduction provides a detailed description of the Statistical Classification, the background for its creation, the classification variable and objects/units classified, classification rules etc. | 0..1 | Textual |
Description |
| 0..1 | Text |
| Release date | Date on which the Statistical Classification was released. | 0..1 | Date |
| Termination date | Date on which the Statistical Classification was superseded by a successor version or otherwise ceased to be valid. | 0..1 | Date |
| Current | Indicates whether or not the Statistical Classification is currently valid. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Maintenance unit | The unit or group of persons within the organisation who are responsible for the Statistical Classification (i.e, for maintaining, updating and changing it). | 0..1 | Textual |
| Contact persons | Person(s) who may be contacted for additional information about the Statistical Classification. | 0..n | Textual |
| Legal base | Indicates that the Statistical Classification is covered by a legal act or by some other formal agreement. | 0..n | Textual |
| Publications | A list of the publications, including print, PDF, HTML and other electronic formats, in which the Statistical Classification has been published. | 0..n | Textual |
| Name types | A list of the defined types of alternative item names available for the Statistical Classification. Each name type refers to a list of alternative item names. | 0..n | Textual |
| Languages available | A Statistical Classification can exist in one or several languages. Indicates the languages available, whether the version is completely or partially translated, and which part is available in which language. | 0..n | Textual |
| Copyright | Statistical Classifications may have restricted copyrights. Such Statistical Classifications might be excluded from downloading. Notes the copyright statement that should be displayed in official publications to indicate the copyright owner. | 0..n | Textual |
| Dissemination allowed | Indicates whether or not the Statistical Classification may be published or otherwise disseminated (e.g. electronic dissemination). | 0..1 | Textual |
| Version | Indicates if the Statistical Classification is a version. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Update | Indicates if the Statistical Classification is an update. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Floating | Indicates if the Statistical Classification is a floating classification. In a floating statistical classification, a validity period should be defined for all Classification Items which will allow the display of the item structure and content at different points of time. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Predecessor | For those Statistical Classifications that are versions or updates, notes the preceding Statistical Classification of which the actual Statistical Classification is the successor. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Successor | Notes the Statistical Classification that superceded the actual Statistical Classification. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Changes from previous version or update | A summary description of the nature and content of changes from the preceding version or update. Specific changes are recorded in the Classification Item object under the “Changes from previous version and updates” attribute. | 0..n | Textual |
| Derived from | A Statistical Classification can be derived from one of the classification versions of another Classification Series. The derived Statistical Classification can either inherit the structure of the classification version from which it is derived, usually adding more detail, or use a large part of its Classification Items, rearranging them in a different structure. Indicates the classification version from which the actual Statistical Classification is derived. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Updates possible | Indicates whether or not updates are allowed within the classification version i.e. without leading to a new version. Indicate here what structural changes, if any, are permissable within a version. Note whether Classification Itemscan be added to the structure and whether they can be revalidated or invalidated. Such changes are more likely to be permissable in floating classifications. Also indicate whether changes to such things as Classification Item names and explanatory notes that do not involve structural changes are permissible within a version. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Updates | Summary description of changes which have occurred since the most recent classification version or classification update came into force. | 0..n | Textual |
| Variants available | Identifies any variants associated with this version. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Variant | For those Statistical Classifications that are variants, notes the Statistical Classification on which it is based and any subsequent versions of that Statistical Classification to which it is also applicable. | 0..1 | Textual |
| Changes from base Statistical Classification | Describes the relationship between the variant and its base Statistical Classification, including regroupings, aggregations added and extensions. | 0..n | Textual |
| Purpose of variant | If the Statistical Classification is a variant, notes the specific purpose for which it was developed. | 0..1 | Textual |

Replace current Statistical Classification attribute:
With
as people record the version number not whether it is a version or not.
