In ElevationGridCoverage , ElevationTIN and ElevationVectorElements application schemas the 'endLifespanVersion' property has multiplicity equal to one.
Proposal is to set endLifespanVersion multiplicity to [0..1], coherently to multiplicity of this property in the other INSPIRE application schemas.
Issue faced
In most cases the endLifespanVersion is not known, but, since multiplicity of this element is 1, a value or a nilReason shall be provided.
Proposed solution
Add minOccurs=0 to the endLifespanVersion definition
During the joint MIG/MIG-T meeting held on 31/03-01/04/2022, the proposal was endorsed.
