Comment by Paula Zermoglio (@pzermoglio) migrated from spreadsheet:
This is assuming that depths are actually correct but transposed, rather than just one of them, maximum or minimum being just plainly wrong.

Comment by Paul Morris (@chicoreus) migrated from spreadsheet:
Separate into a validation MIN_DEPTH_SHALLOWERTHAN_OR_EQ_MAX and an amendment MIN_MAX_DEPTHS_TRANSPOSED, to resolve the issue. There's a validation to find problematic depths, and an amendment which makes the explictit assumption that there is a transposition, make the transpostion, and leaves the consumer of the report free to decide whether or not to accept that assumption. A transposition ammendment could also be expected to be informed by a ocean depth model and only propose the transposition if it is reasonable for the location and geographic uncertainty. A nearshore depth where a minimum depth has an error in the form of a missing decimal point making it much larger than the maximum depth is a very plausible error on the line PZ considers.

Comment by Lee Belbin (@Tasilee) migrated from spreadsheet:
Basically, the statement needs to be min max depths ok

Comment by Paul Morris (@chicoreus) migrated from spreadsheet:
Split into separate Validation and Amendment, Validation=1, amendment needs more specification.

[chicoreus]

Splits have been accomplished. This test is now atomic so comments about splits have been satisfied.

[chicoreus]

Output Type is missing from the Field/Value table. @Tasilee please correct (looks like it should be Output Type = Validation) and review table for any other errors.

[Tasilee]

Thanks @chicoreus. Done.

Splitting bdqffdq:Information Elements into "Information Elements ActedUpon" and "Information Elements Consulted". Is this one correct?

[chicoreus]

Both dwc:minimumDepthInMeters and dwc:maximumDepthInMeters are ActedUpon, as if NOT_COMPLIANT, the test isn't able to tell which is incorrect, so both need to be marked in the same way.
