"$comment": "[RL] In ISO 19111 a usage must contain one scope and one extent. (See below for extent). The main geodetic entities (CRS, datum, all types of coordinate operation) should have at least one and may have many usages. Should the schema be something like Usage below?"

      "properties": {
        "scope": { "type": "string" },

      "additionalProperties": false
    }
},

"$comment": "[RL]In ISO 19111 a usage is optional but (in §8.1.4) at least one usage is recommended. If this is considered best practice for geodetic registries, should the cardinality of Usage in CRS JSON be 1:* ?"
