INSPIRE EF - Information accessibility doesn't validate following XSDs

[joey-geoloog]

Dear team,

To confirm: cache cleared, similar issue #586 found but doesn't seem to relate to this issue as it's occurring in line with relevant feature IDs, nothing on known limitations.

Test report & Data file: bro_gu_inspire_ef_small.zip
Due to #1127 this doesn't work in production, but we got the same error in staging too, as well as on other validators.

XML document 'bro_gu_inspire_ef_small.gml', EnvironmentalMonitoringNetwork 'GUF000000001550': The attribute 'xlink:href' of the element 'procedure' shall be provided.

In the XSD for EF 4.0 it's stated that any suitable XML may be used to describe the observation process in line.
We are therefore using ompr:Process inline and we assumed this should negate the need for an xlink.
Therefore it was surprising to get a failed message. Appreciate your insight and advice.

Dear @joey-geoloog,

Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention.
Your implementation is correct, so we will modify the test to not raise an error in these cases.

Dear @joey-geoloog,

the issue has been resolved and is now ready for testing in the staging instance.

Could you please check it out and provide us with your feedback?

Dear @fabiovinci

First, thanks from our team to you and @dperezBM for pushing the fix so quickly!
We have tested this in staging today and confirm the results are as we had expected.

Many thanks again.

@fabiovinci - just fielding questions from our wider team, is there a fixed release schedule for the etf tests/when can we roughly expect to see this in live? No pressure, we were just curious! Thanks.

This is the release plan: https://github.com/INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator/tree/master/release%20strategy
This fix will be included in the release scheduled for mid-January 2025.
