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)
Contents
- 1 Atomized Genus elements should start with a single uppercase character followed ny a non-empty sequence of lower-case characters
- 2 Check whether collection date fields conform to specification in ABCD 2.06
- 3 Check numeric ranges of site coordinates latitude value
- 4 Check numeric ranges of site coordinates longitude value
- 5 Check syntactical correctness of ABCD elements used for email addresses
- 6 Check whether country element conforms with ISO3166
- 7 Check whether scientific name is known by zoological name service
- 8 Check whether scientific name is known by botanical name service
- 9 Check whether field for multimedia object type uses mime types
- 10 Check whether multimedia object file is available
- 11 Check whether multimedia object has an associated copyright statement
- 12 Check whether rule 7 and rule 8 find the scientific name
- 13 Check whether the value for measurement and fact is a number
- 14 Check whether Record basis is mapped
