Validation Software

Some of the attribute information is to be provided by the CSDS validation software to be supplied by DRAL. This is identified here to provide visibility of this processing.

Logical_file_id

This must reflect the new file name with correct version.

Data_version

This must reflect the new file version.

TEXT

Allows text input by validator, to allow identification and location of a caveats file.

Caveats

Allows text input by validator for short caveats.

Validity

This is provided entirely via the validation software user interface.

Validator

This is provided automatically by the validation software user interface.

MODS

The entry that applies to the current version of the data is supplied by the operator input into the control script and possibly by PI provided software. However this is a cumulative record of modifications to the data, and when data is reprocessed the entries from the previous version must be read from the archived file by the validation software and entered before the entry from the latest file. This is still TBC by the CSDS IWG.
