PoolParty Data Validator

Abstract

PoolParty Data Validator

The PoolParty Data Validator performs various checks on PoolParty data. It is available for every import of RDF or tabular, spreadsheet or CSV data, if you have activated the corresponding checkbox during import. Data checked by the Data Validator has to be stored in a separate step of the project. Until that point such data will only be available in the Data Validator. Other changes to the project are not possible as long as such data has not been saved.

For more details refer to:
