Interface "Segmentations"
Usage & contents |
| ||
---|---|---|---|
Reporting business logic |
| ||
Consistency rules | The following rules should be adhered to by any response and will eventually be checked when consuming a response: Consistency Rules* All segmentations used within the other API's should be defined * All segments used within other API's responses should be defined * All segments of a segmentation have to be unique Segmentations don't have to be "levelled". That means that not every branch of a hierarchy has to have the same depth (number of levels). | ||

Segmentations
Segmentation Attributes
Attribute | Description | Type |
---|---|---|
| The unique id of the segmentation. Is referenced by positions. | string |
| optional description of the segmentation to help the reader of the file. For reporting the id will be used as key into the translation tables. | string |
| the list of segments in the segmentation | array of segment |
Segment Attributes
Attribute | Description | Type |
---|---|---|
| The unique id of the segment within the segmentation. Is referenced by positions. | string |
| optional list of (sub)segments used to build a hierarchical segmentation | array of segment |
| optional description of the segment to help the reader of the file. For reporting the id will be used as key into the translation tables. | string |
| optional sortKey to help sorting data from multiple files. If no sortKeys are provided, the order of segments in the file is relevant. | string |
| optional flag to state that this segment is actually not a discrete segment of the segmentation but rather something like
| boolean |
Example for segments on positions
The following examples show how the AssetClass segment is allocated to a position:
Case | Discussion | Example | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Segment provided | Standard case: position will be reported under the specified segment. | "segments": { "AssetClass": "CASH", "GICS": "20104020" } |
2 | NA-Segment provided | Position will be reported either under NA-segment or under "Others" segment depending on report configuration. The n.a. segment has to be listed in the segmentation definition (like any segment) | "segments": { "AssetClass": "n.a.", "GICS": "20104020" } |
3 | no segment provided | No segment known for position. Reporting will automatically create the "Others" segment to capture the position. | "segments": { "GICS": "20104020" } |
4 | null Segment provided | not preferred, use case 3 | "segments": { "AssetClass": null, "GICS": "20104020" } |
5 | no segments provided | position always should have the property "segments" - schema violation |
