InfoReference not defined anywhere in the spec #9

Open ralienpp opened 3 years ago

In section 6.10.6 of the specification, the state messages contain an optional attribute called informations. This, in turn, includes other attributes, one of them is infoReferences which is of the type infoReference. However, the latter is not defined anywhere.

Perhaps it is similar to errorReference in spirit, this can be seen in the schema itself. Can you confirm?

Hello RalienPP,

that is true. Alas, I cannot update this, since this correction must be reflected in the VDA document, and there is still a bit of legal red tape around that. I'm very optimistic that we will resolve these issues this year nad move on towards a shared development of the specification and the JSON schemes.

For now you can safely assume that the infoReference is the same thing as the errorReference, with the difference that it MUST NOT be used for logic on the AGV or the MC, as that would open up the gates to countless vendor-specific solutions.
