Validation and Correction

Once the XML data file has been uploaded into the reBiND system the user can validate and perform automated and manual corrections to the file before publishing. Publishing the data makes it available to the public search interface and also to biodiversity networks, such as GBIF.

Validation

The figure below shows the result of clicking on the validation action for the file reBiND_Puffinus.xml. When the validation is running the information screen opens and displays a throbber while the file is being validated. In the screenshot the validation is complete and the screen shows the result - that there are 600 errors in the file.

After validation is complete it is possible to review the validation resulst in detail in the reBiND editor (a modified version of the eXide editor which comes bundled with the eXist software). To open this editor theuser should click on the 'Edit' button in the list of actions below the data file (in this case reBiND_Puffinus.xml).
