3.2 Editors Menu
The second group of menu items (Editors) shows the options in the top left corner (as highlighted below). They include Codelist, ConceptScheme, Table Modeller, DSD, Dataflow, ConceptConstraint, AgencyScheme, CategoryScheme and MSD. Each menu item is an entry point for creating and editing a specific artefact. Clicking on any of the options will reveal more particular options below. See Table 3.2 for a brief overview of the menu items (Editors).

| Menu item | What to expect: A bird’s-eye view of the menu items in the top left corner (Editors) |
|---|---|
| Codelist | The Codelist button shows an interface to create or edit the list of Concepts (dimensions/attributes of a modelled dataset), each having a list of possible values or codes. The codes have unique IDs and (multilingual) labels and may have other information such as order and hierarchy. |
| ConceptScheme | The ConceptScheme button shows an interface to create or edit the Concepts (dimensions/attributes of a modelled dataset). Each concept has an ID and (multilingual) labels and may have other information. |
| Table Modeller | The Table Modeller button shows the options to generate the SDMX artefacts by recreating the statistical table using the Concepts (dimensions/attributes of a modelled data set) with an intuitive user interface (drag and drop). |
| DSD | The DSD button abbreviating Data Structure Definition shows an interface to create or edit the structure of a modelled dataset. It specifies the dimensions, attributes and their possible values or codes. |
| Dataflow | The Dataflow button shows an interface to create or edit a subset and representation of a DSD and describes which dimensions to show on rows or columns. |
| ConceptConstraint | The ConceptConstraint button shows an interface to create or edit combinations of codes that are allowed for various artefacts of the dataflows. |
| AgencyScheme | The AgencyScheme button shows an interface to create or edit a hierarchical list of agencies or organisations. Each agency or organisation is identified by a unique code (ID), a name, and other descriptive information. |
| CategoryScheme | The CategoryScheme button shows an interface to create or edit a CategoryScheme, which is essentially a list of categories organised in a hierarchical structure. Each category is identified by a unique code (ID), a name, and other descriptive information. |
| MSD | The MSD button abbreviating Metadata Structure Definition shows an interface describing the structure of reference metadata associated with a data set. It specifies the elements and attributes that can be used to represent metadata concepts and the relationships between them. |
