The Imaging Data Submission and Validation module (also known as  MIPAV Image Submission and Validation tool or MIPAV [[Image submission plug-in]]) is designed to help researches to validate and submit their data. Data validation is a necessary step that must be done prior data submission in order to ensure the quality of uploaded data and to make data queryable. The module runs as a Java Web Start application locally on a user's computer (Java runtime environment are required).  

The [[Data Validation module]] assists researchers with the submission of both imaging and non-imaging data into the repository. The Data Validation module verifies that data conforms to the required format and range values defined in the data dictionary (note that for the [[Image submission plug-in|imaging data]] this is going to be a second validation needed to ensure the quality of data). The [[Data Validation module]] validates the metadata associated with the data files identified by the user for submission against the data dictionary. If everything is OK, the Data Validation module creates a submission ticket and submission package. After that data are good for uploading. If errors are found, the module provides a detailed report of any data discrepancies, errors, and warnings. The module runs as a Java Web Start application locally on a user's computer (Java runtime environment are required).

After the submission package has been created by either [[Image submission plug-in|Imaging Data Submission and Validation module]] (for imaging data) or by Data Validation module (for non-imaging data), data can be submitted to the data repository. The Data Upload module facilitates this process. The module runs as a Java Web Start application locally on a user's computer (Java runtime environment are required).
