Validation errors with oneOf elements

[mrueda]

This is part of an ongoing discussion that I've been having with @mbaudis.

When we validate this example data for individuals we get these errors:

Row 1:
/diseases/0/ageOfOnset: oneOf rules 0, 1 match.
/measures/0/observationMoment: oneOf rules 0, 1 match.

Meaning that we have a match in two of the options, when we should have a match in exactly one.

The error has been reproduced with other JSON schema validators (e.g., Python's jsonchema).

Here I am showing a simplified version of what is happening:
Example schema:

 {
  type                 : 'object',
    properties           : {},
    additionalProperties : {
        oneOf : [
            { oneLevel  : { type : 'string' } },
            {
                properties :
                  { twoLevel : { type : 'string' } } 
            }
        ],
    },
}

Input:
{ bar : 'beacon' }

The example can be validated at https://www.jsonschemavalidator.net

It's likely that this issue happens in other places of the beacon v2 models as well, as I recall having validation problems with quantity object when I was transforming CINECA's synthetic data for the RI.

If this is actually an error/problem (is it???) one possible (ad hoc) solution could be changing oneOf for anyOf, but it sounds very drastic to me.

anyOf can easily generate similar or worse issues, particularly if the different cases have overlapping property names, see #56.
