<!-- TS_DATA contains base data values: keys and data values for each record-->
<!-- TS_METADATA describes dataset structure, e.g. the names of keys, units, symbols. -->
<!-- REF_DATA contains reference tables, i.e. the elements to which TS_DATA refers. E.g. if a column is described in TS_DATA as being 'Italy' then in REF_DATA object Italy would be described, such as its codes, names, relations, etc.-->
<!-- REF_METADATA describes structure of these reference objects. Most importantly,
it defines object types to which objects in REF_DATA belong. For example, if REF_DATA contains 'Italy' and says that 'Italy' is a 'Country', REF_METADATA describes
what a country is, what attributes it must have, etc-->

<!-- Example: too large to show example. It is the root element.-->
