There is no separate interface.  We import sdmx-hd data through the same
interface as importing dxf(v1).  The message is transformed internally to
dxf and imported that way.

The exchange of metadata is not so user friendly (partly because we have
been settling a lot regarding dxf and stabilizing of identifiers).
Basically you can generate an SDMX-HD Data Structure Definition from a dxf
metadata export.  I have done this "manually" using an xslt transform.

You can find this (see create_dsd.sh) and some sample data from iHRIS and
openMRS at lp:~bobjolliffe/+junk/sdmx-hd
