Why does the pass element in the Topological Consistency Descriptive Results always have to be false?

Dear helpdesk of the INSPIRE validator,

I have the following question:
Why does the pass element in the Topological Consistency Descriptive Results always have to be false?

This is part of test md isdss 2.8 .
In https://github.com/inspire-eu-validation/metadata/blob/2.0/isdss/topological-consistency-descriptive-results.md it is stated that the pass element should always be false.

Best regards,

Dear @PB-GNM,

since the related metadata element is conditional, i.e. "it is mandatory only if the data set includes types from the Generic Network Model and does not assure centreline topology (connectivity of centrelines) for the network",

if it is present, it means that "the data set does not assure the centreline topology for the network", for this reason, the gmd:pass element is false by default.

I hope that this helps to clarify.

Dear Fabio,

Thank you for the quick answer!
To check, if I understand it correctly:
Does this mean we should not use the DQ_TopologicalConsistency element if centrelines topology is assured for the network?

Yes, it is correct.
