The data on the ECB Data Portal are organised in datasets, which are based on common statistical collection and are defined by a data structure definition. The data structure definition is the common framework for relating the relevant dimensions, measures and attributes of a dataset.

For more information on the common framework and its components, please see the SDMX website and you can find the full list of datasets on the ECB Data Portal here.
