assoc-role-player-type

Type(s): Issue

Description
- Must both [role playing topic] and [role type] have values?
Opinion
- no. nulls should be allowed. but maybe not nulls in both places? i.e. you have to have either role player or role type. i.e. you either dont know what is playing the role or you know this thing is associated but not yet why. - Scope: Graham Moore
Resolution
- Both [role playing topic] and [role type] must have a non-null value. When deserializing XTM documents the processor must supply topics with no property values to fill the properties if the role player or role type are undefined in the XTM document.
