Description
In the DDI4 model documentation NameType
should inherit a String property form InternationalStringType
in the generated jsonScheme.json, the nameType
object has no reference to InternationalStringType
"nameType": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"isPreferred": {
"type": "boolean",
"MultiplicityElement": {
"lower": 0,
"upper": 1
},
"Description": "If more than one name for the object is provided, use the isPreferred attribute to indicate which is the preferred name content. All other names should be set to isPreferred=\"false\"."
},
"context": {
"type": "string",
"MultiplicityElement": {
"lower": 0,
"upper": 1
},
"Description": "A name may be specific to a particular context, i.e., a type of software, or a section of a registry. Identify the context related to the specified name."
}
},
"additionalProperties": false
},
Thus using the jsonScheme as an input for DDI4 model, we have no way to specify the actual name of the software in studyUnit : Software
is a softwareType
.
"Software": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/softwareType"
},
"minItems": 0,
"Description": "Indicate the software used to create and/or manage the metadata. This is repeatable to allow for multiple softwares or multiple functions. If this information is important it is advisable to provide it in each maintainable so that it does not become separated from the internal content if the metadata is re-factored."
},
Since softwareName
is a NameType
, there is no InternationalStringType
String property that could be used for describing the actual sofware name.
"softwareType": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"softwareName": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/nameType"
},
"minItems": 0,
"Description": "The name of the software package, including its producer."
},
There seems to a general problem with inheritance in the generated jsonScheme.
Same problem for codeDomainType
.
