Reference data is typically provided in spreadsheet format where each cell of reference data is defined by row identifiers and column identifiers. When capturing the data in standardized format the decision has been made that recreating the original reference data in the original format is not a desired function and therefore whether the identifier is from a row versus a column is not of importance. These identifiers are captured as STRATUM (STRTMy). In addition a description of the content of the cell is captured as a topic (INPRM), the actual value in the cell (INPRMVAL) and a description of the unit if relevant (INPRMU) are defined in the dataset metadata.
