The time interval at which observations occur over a given time period.
If a data series has a constant time interval between its observations, this interval determines the frequency of the series (e.g. monthly, quarterly, yearly). \Frequency\" - also called \"periodicity\" - may refer to several stages in the production process, e.g. in data collection or in data dissemination. (e.g., a time series could be available at annual frequency but the underlying data are compiled monthly). Therefore, \"Frequency\" can be broken down into \"Frequency - data collection\" and \"Frequency - data dissemination\". For data messages, the frequency is represented through codes. Any additional detail needed (e.g. \"weekly on Thursday\") must be inserted as free text within \"Frequency detail\". "
