raphael 22:54, 27 October 2009 (UTC): Here I have a question about the meaning of OPERAT in the context of notice time. "Whichever is more" and "whichever is less" are OK where they apply. But NTCTXT is also intended to qualify NTCHRS, e.g., by adding a phrase like "before reaching reporting point". "3 hours before reaching reporting point" would be encoded as NTCHRS = 3 hours and NTCTXT="before reaching reporting point". Possible ways to resolve this are by mandating a meaning for OPERAT=null or the absence of OPERAT, or adding another allowed value for OPERAT.


jens 06:21, 28 October 2009 (UTC) Does not multiplicity 0..1 solve the problem? Having no OPERAT defined the operation is absence.
By the way, reading your argument it seem to me that the sequential should be set. Otherwise we run the risk to see "before reaching reporting point 3 hours" which is understandable but looks strange. I will set the sequential accordingly.
