Remove "minItems": 1 from dataTypes in schema #37

Closed oalt closed 4 years ago

oalt commented 4 years ago

In the dataTypes section in the schema is a restriction included to have at least 1 item in the array.

I think there are some use cases where no data types are included - if a SpecIF file uses just standardized data types and other metatypes.

So I suggest to remove this constraint from the schema.

.. agreed, it was a leftover from earlier times. We now can have valid SpecIF data without dataTypes ... and dataTypes can be omitted altogether. There are other cases where it is a difference, whether there is no list element or an empty list element (for example in case of subjectClasses and objectClasses as part of statementClasses) ... but not here. So I have removed the property.

(I wonder whether we should have: "uniqueItems": "true" .. but that's another story).
