View source for Integrated Rules

This page is a working document containing an evolving set of rules which will be contineously implemented into the data integrity service and quality toolkit. So far, only a few examples have been included. The numbering scheme will also be used to specify the set of rules to be applied when using the integrity service.
 
* ABCD Schema (http://www.bgbm.org/TDWG/CODATA/Schema/ABCD_1.20/ABCD-1.20.html#complexType_ReferenceType_Link03B5BC30)


=== 1 Atomized Genus elements should start with a single uppercase character followed ny a non-empty sequence of lower-case characters ===



ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Result/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Zoological/GenusOrMonomial
/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Result/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/NameAtomised/Botanical/GenusOrMonomial

Regular expression:

[A-Z][a-z]+



=== 2 Check whether collection date fields conform to specification in ABCD 2.06 ===


ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/DateTime/ISODateTimeBegin
/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/DateTime/ISODateTimeEnd
/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Date/ISODateTimeBegin
/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Date/ISODateTimeEnd

Regular expression:

\d\d\d\d(\-(0[1-9]|1[012])(\-((0[1-9])|1\d|2\d|3[01])(T(0\d|1\d|2[0-3])(:[0-5]\d){0,2})?)?)?|\-\-(0[1-9]|1[012])(\-(0[1-9]|1\d|2\d|3[01]))?|\-\-\-(0[1-9]|1\d|2\d|3[01])

 

=== 3 Check numeric ranges of site coordinates latitude value ===


ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesLatLong/LatitudeDecimal

Rule:

-90.0 <= lat <= 90.0



=== 4 Check numeric ranges of site coordinates longitude value ===


ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/SiteCoordinateSets/SiteCoordinates/CoordinatesLatLong/LongitudeDecimal

Rule:

-180.0 <= lon <= 180.0

 

=== 5 Check syntactical correctness of ABCD elements used for email addresses ===


ABCD elements:

All elements with email-addresses

Regular expression:

^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.\+]+)@([a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+)$


=== 6 Check whether country element conforms with ISO3166 ===



ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Gathering/Country/ISO3166Code

Rule:

Use 2- or 3-letter ISO country code (ISO3166-1).


=== 7 Check whether scientific name is known by zoological name service ===



ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Result/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/FullScientificNameString

Rule:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/MultiMediaObjects/MultiMediaObject/Format

Rule:

Use http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2046.txt
 


=== 10 Check whether multimedia object file is available ===


ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/MultiMediaObjects/MultiMediaObject/File

Rule:

HTTP HEAD request



=== 11 Check whether multimedia object has an associated copyright statement ===


ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/MultiMediaObjects/MultiMediaObject/IPR/Copyrights/Copyright/Text

Rule:

Copyright element has to be non-empty.

 

=== 12 Check whether rule 7 and rule 8 find the scientific name ===


ABCD elements:

/DataSets/DataSet/Units/Unit/Identifications/Identification/Result/TaxonIdentified/ScientificName/FullScientificNameString

Rule:

Use rule 7 and rule 8



=== 13 Check whether the value for measurement and fact  is a number ===
