Dear Mireille,
I need to complement Sonia’s and Marco’s feedback with a very similar issue
for the following fields, all declared as optional (with a MAN = NO) in the TABLE 5
but all having ‘principle’ set to 1 in TABLE 6:
ObsCore field name principle
------------------- -------
dataproduct_subtype 1
o_calib_status 1
obs_creator_name 1
obs_release_date 1
obs_title 1
s_pixel_scale 1
target_class 1
obs_creation_date 1
publisher_id 1
s_ucd 1
s_unit 1
s_resolution_max 1
s_resolution_min 1
em_ucd 1
em_res_power_max 1
em_res_power_min 1
em_resolution 1
o_unit 1
Should not the principle field be set to 0 for all optional fields?
Many thanks,
Alberto
