Clarity over mandatory entities & fields #136

Currently the spec does not specify which fields are mandatory or not. This can have a huge impact on the upstream data source needed to provide a compliant NETeX feed. Could you clarify?

GeertThijs commented 1 year ago

In the AP's (timetables, stopplaces, vehiclescheduling) there are multiplicities for all elements (except for the classes as these are only mandatory if they are at the end of a mandatory relation). So I presume that you refer to the VOC . For VOC's indeed there are no multiplicities as they are only the collection of terms used in the AP's and their identification and definition.

Hello @GeertThijs, sorry but I don't understand your answer. How are multiplicities linked to the mandatory nature of fields?
