Before entering a bug I want to know if it really is a bug or the
structure was intended.
InstrumentType currently contains a ControlConstructReference 0..1
(allowing for reference to an instrument that has not had its contents
described in DDI)
ControlConstructScheme contains ControlConstruct 1..n implying that
multiple independent control sequences can be stored in a single
ControlConstructScheme and the Instrument is referencing the top construct
of its initiating sequence.
If this is how its supposed to be, fine, I'll make sure it is documented
in this way.
However, if a ControlConstructScheme was intended to contain a single
master seqence then InstrumentType should change ControlConstructReference
to ControlConstructSchemeReference and ControlConstructScheme should
change its ControlConstruct to 1..1 forcing a single starting point for
the control sequence.
Which is correct? You may have discussed this while I was at the Doctor's.
I hope Jeremy and Dan are paying attention to this email ;)
