Overview

An Maintainable Structure is an abstract term for any structure which is a top level container of information, i.e a Maintianable structure is maintained inside any other structure. An example is a Codelist which is a Maintainable structure, and a Code which is not Maintainable as it is maintained as an artefact inside its parent Codelist.

A Maintanable structure is both Identifiable and Nameable, it also must contain a reference to the Agency that is responsible for maintaining it.
