Properties
REQUIREMENT |
The buyer needs to be able to specify the type of the value it expects from the economic operator in a response; e.g. DESCRIPTION, INDICATOR, QUANTITY, URL, etc.). The economic operator must provide a value for the response that is consistent with the type specified by the buyer. |
This other XSD diagram shows the elements of the properties of a criterion:

Notice that: One sub-criterion 'is a' criterion:

Expected elements
The following table lists the elements of a criterion property. Beware that the majority of the elements are the possible types of responses that the buyer can specify. The economic operator, in the ESPDResponse, must provide values that are consistent with the type specified by the buyer.
