Single-value constraint

The MMSI number usually changes when the ships change owner, so I think the single-value constraint should change to a single-best-value constraint. Infrastruktur (talk) 13:10, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

On second thought, since this number is akin to phone numbers, there is little point in keeping old values around. So never mind. Infrastruktur (talk) 23:35, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

Adding required qualifier

Since MMSI codes tend to change with new owners I'm considering adding "point in time" as a required qualifier to keep track of which ones are outdated. Any objections or blessings? Infrastruktur (talk) 11:26, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

I should add here that I did consider "start time" and "end time" too. But I'm not interested in keeping a log of all the MMSI codes the ship has had in the past. We also may not have access to all the ship's registry details, but we do definitely know if the MMSI code is valid the day it is added, and that is all that I'm interested in.
