4. Array and Array Attributes
GESMES/CB = Status, Confidentiality, Pre_break_value
Key Family/Dataset
Observation Data
time series key
key components
time range
observations and observation attributes
observation value
observations and observation attributes
time series key
key components
time range
observation attribute
For GESMES/DSIS any attribute can be attached to the cell or sent as an attribute, for GESMES/CB the observation cell attributes are fixed, all other attributes are sent as attributes
Attribute Data
time series key
key components
time range
attribute concept
attribute value
e.g. unit
e.g. EUR
time series key
key components = set to “whole array”
attribute concept
