@dwalt or @hmaier-fws Is platform supposed to be the platform class or is it just a string for the id?
Similar question for significantEvent but I'm not sure what the corresponding class would be.

[dwalt]

@jwaspin Platform is a class. Operation is the parent class referencing one or more Platforms associated with an Operation.

[hmaier-fws]

Changed definition of operationId to:
operationId: ( character ) "a unique mdJSON system identifier for the operation" default: UUID

[jwaspin]

@dwalt @hmaier-fws This says that parentOperation is required. Is that accurate? Isn't there a point at which there is a root/top-level operation that doesn't have a parent?
