Hi Joanna,

I've just raised this with my relevant colleagues, and suspect the issue
might ultimately have been my fault as I drafted the first version of our
validation rules for this. Will let you know as I learn more.

While we're here, would you care to share any examples with this group, of
how ONS are using Schema.org and related standards? Are you also using
CSVW? (https://csvw.org/)

cheers,

Dan
