Yes, I think we could do what you did with 'segment' in your example -- give it a default value of "segment" in segment case, and make it required in the ignorable case.
(Or if it's clearer to be pedantic, we could always require it. I think either method should work.)

I think that works well, to use a ‘type’ enumeration. I assume then that ‘type’ will be a required property?

Hi Robert,
I think this direction is great -- the use of oneOf is very similar to what I was thinking about to try to clean up the subunit structure a little bit.
Regarding your question about using a boolean called "segment" or a boolean called "ignorable" to indicate type, a third option would be to use an enumerated string:
"oneOf": [
{
"properties": {
"type": { "type": "string", "default": "segment", "enum": [ "segment" ] },
"canResegment": { "type": "boolean" },
...
},
{
"properties": {
"type": { "type": "string", "enum": ["ignorable"] },
....
}
]
This would mean you can write unit data that looked like:
...
"subunits": [
{
"type": "segment",
"canResegment": false,
"source": { .... },
"target": { .... },
},
{
"type": "ignorable",
"source": { ... },
"target": { .... }
}
]
I don't know how if that makes the language bindings easier or harder, but it might make the representation a little clearer.

Phil and Chase,

Please see the updated JLIFF wiki page https://github.com/oasis-tcs/xliff-omos-jliff/wiki with some suggestions to incorporate schema constraints to differentiate segment and ignorable.
