Data Validation module

In order to ensure the quality of uploaded data and also to make data easy to query, data should be submitted in a specific format and range values should comply with the values defined in the data dictionary. All submitted research data must be validated against the values defined in the data dictionary prior to submission. To facilitate this process, we provide the Data Validation module that assists researchers with the submission of their data.

Introduction

The Data Validation module verifies that data conforms to the required format and range values defined in the data dictionary. It 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 a good for uploading. If errors are found, the module provides a detailed report of any data discrepancies, errors, and warnings.

System requirements

The most recent version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (6 or 7) is required in order to run the Data Validation module.
