Why it exists Filled
Represent observed prices, subject-specific valuation conclusions and statistical price or index observations as governed, versioned value assertions independent of storage or exchange format.
Distinguishing features Filled
- A value assertion about a subject and interest, distinct from the offer, transaction or invoice where money changes hands.
- Separates observed prices from appraised values with stated basis, approach and assumptions.

Links to other meta-models Filled
references
- Offer, Contract, Transaction, Invoice and Payment models - Binds requested, agreed, invoiced or paid amounts without importing commercial or settlement lifecycle.
- Asset, Liability, Product, Service and Right models - Identifies the subject and interest while external masters own their properties and lifecycle.
- Currency and Exchange Rate models - Resolves maintained currency codes and conversion rates while preserving original value semantics.
- Dataset, Report, Publication and Evidence models - Connects workfiles, source snapshots, reports and distributions without treating them as the logical value assertion.
composes
- WM-DAT-002 Official Statistics - Combines price-index specialization with general statistical authority, quality, release and vintage governance.
aligned
- International Valuation Standards effective 31 January 2025 - Supports pinned valuation-process and reporting profiles without asserting conformance from structure alone.
- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement - Supports accounting fair-value measurement profiles only where another applicable standard requires or permits them.
- SDMX 3.1 and GS1 Web Vocabulary 1.18 - Supports statistical and commerce-facing projections with pinned versions, validation and declared loss.
neighbor
- Offer, Contract and Transaction - This model may observe requested, quoted, administered or transacted amounts, but the commercial record owns negotiation, agreement, performance and legal effect.
- Invoice and Payment - Invoiced and paid amounts are external accounting or settlement events; they may evidence price but do not become appraisal or index conclusions.
- Asset, Liability, Product, Service and Right - The valued subject and interest retain external identity, physical or legal properties and lifecycle while this model owns only the scoped value assertion.
- Currency and Exchange Rate - Currency codes and rate observations are external masters; a derived conversion retains original amount, rate binding, time, direction and rounding.
- Official Statistics WM-DAT-002 - This model specializes price-index semantics and calculations while Official Statistics owns programme authority, release governance, statistical quality and general observation-vintage lifecycle.
- Dataset, Report and Evidence - Datasets, valuation reports, workfiles and snapshots are referenced artifacts; none replaces the logical value assertion, method or immutable revision.
What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled
Identity and identifiers required Filled
- Authoritative valuation or price master-system identifier and immutable revision identifier.
- Governed globally resolvable value-assertion or index-observation IRI.
- Adopting-Dimension UUID or ULID when no authoritative external identifier exists.
Direct properties not applicable Not applicable
Not applicable
Institutional or informational subject: no invented physical properties.
Recognition optional Filled
- A value assertion has a subject, an amount with currency or unit, an effective date, a basis and a source or appraiser.
- It is confused with a list price offer, an invoice amount and an accounting book value.
Capabilities and actions required Filled
- Register value assertion: Register assertion family, subject, interest, unit, context and immutable identity.
- Record price observation: Append a sourced listing, quote, administered, negotiated or transaction price observation.
- Correct price observation: Create a successor observation with correction reason and evidence.
- Normalize price components: Derive comparable gross, net or unit views without destroying original terms.
- Commission appraisal: Register purpose, scope, client, intended users, valuer and basis.
- Register valuation inputs: Record inspections, sources, assumptions, comparables, models and adjustments.
- Reconcile value conclusion: Reconcile approach and scenario indications into a scoped conclusion.
- Issue, review or withdraw valuation: Approve, review, supersede, expire or withdraw a valuation conclusion.
- Define price index: Register index purpose, coverage, basket, classifications, weights and formulae.
- Calculate and release index: Compile a complete series observation and bind it to an Official Statistics vintage.
- Revise index observation: Create a successor index vintage for correction, revised inputs, rebasing or methodological change.
- Convert or export value: Convert currency or produce a standards-aligned projection with validation and loss declaration.
Hazards and failure modes required Filled
- Losses from decisions on stale or mis-scaled values.
- Unit or currency confusion between observations.
- Inflated appraisals enabling fraud.

Standards and interfaces required Filled
- International Valuation Standards (IVS).
- IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

Context of use required Filled
- Regulation (EU) 2016/792 and HICP methodology define a European statistical profile, not universal price or index law.
- IVS effective 31 January 2025 is treated as the current international valuation reference; the 2028 material is only an exposure draft and is not used normatively.
- ISO 4217:2015 codes are mutable through the appointed maintenance agency, so adopting Dimensions must retain the code-list version or retrieval time.
