reference

Definition

A standardised means of identifying the indicator from a code in a recognised vocabulary. Multiple vocabularies may be specified, but each vocabulary may be specified only once for each indicator.

Rules

This element may occur any number of times.

8.11.1: A reference code must only be declared at result OR result indicator level.

Attributes

@vocabulary

A code for a recognised vocabulary of indicators. The value for this field should appear in the IndicatorVocabulary codelist.

This attribute is required.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

This value should be on the IndicatorVocabulary codelist.

@code

A code for an indicator defined in the specified vocabulary specified.

This attribute is required.

This value must be of type xsd:string.

@indicator-uri

The URI where this vocabulary is defined. If the vocabulary is 99 (reporting organisation), the URI where this internal vocabulary is defined. While this is an optional field it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that all publishers use it to ensure that the meaning of their codes are fully understood by data users.

This value must be of type xsd:anyURI.

Example Usage

Example of reference in the context of an indicator of a result element.

This example declares use of @vocabulary 1, with a @code of 3429:

<reference vocabulary="1" code="3429" />

If a publisher uses a vocabulary of 99 (i.e. ‘Reporting Organisation’), then the @indicator-uri attribute should also be used, for example:

<reference vocabulary="99" code="B1" indicator-uri="http://example.com/indicators.html" />

The reference element can be repeated in any indicator. If the reference element is reported at indicator level it must not be reported at result level:
