obscore 1.1 - small issues

[Mireille Louys]

Hi Sonia & Marco, Hi all,

Thanks for your feedback in this precise implementation of the Obscore 
1.1 specification.

Apologies for these typos and  missing descriptions terms that went 
through our vigilance as authors and editors.
We are aware that when a model offers many fields, many implementations 
are needed to test all the fields precisely and extensively.

I have not experienced the errata process yet, but it seems appropriate 
here.

Cheers , Mireille.
