http://purl.org/linked-data/sdmx/2009/code#Currency and
http://purl.org/linked-data/sdmx/2009/code#currency

are not defined.

sdmx-dimension, sdmx-metadata, and sdmx-measure are pointing at them.

The issue is that the files are mechanically generated from the SDMX XML files. 
In the case of Currency then SDMX defines a code list but the XML file doesn't 
contain any actual codes (just a text comment that the codes should be based on 
ISO 4217 codes). Currently the converter script suppresses empty code lists. 

I see three options:

(a) remove the references to sdmx-code:Currency and sdmx-code:currency from the 
sdmx-dimension, sdmx-metadata and sdmx-measure files;

(b) retain the references and add an empty code list in sdmx-code list (in 
effect, remove the suppression of empty code lists);

(c) retain the references and create smdx-code entries for each of the current 
ISO 4217 codes.

Preferences? 

I prefer (a) but would be happy with (b).

I'm not happy with (c) since I can't see any mention of license terms to 
confirm it would be legal and in any case would be a maintenance cost.

Based on list discussion opted for (b).
