Data validation using schema definition

摘要

A system includes a first processor configured to intake a schema definition file. The schema definition file defines a set of rules that a data document must follow. The processor extracts one or more data adherence rules from the schema definition file and stores the extracted data adherence rules. Accordingly, subsequent data generation, configuration and/or validation of one or more system data objects may occur without requiring the creation of the data document.

主权项

1. An industrial control system, comprising:
a first hardware-based processor configured to:
intake a processor-readable schema definition file configured to define a set of rules for a data document to follow;generate one or more data adherence rules, the data adherence rules comprising a set of rules for non-data document data, by:
extracting attributes, elements, or both from the schema definition file; anddetermining the one or more data adherence rules using the extracted attributes, elements, or both; andstore the one or more data adherence rules to enable subsquent data validation, data generation, data configuration, or a combination thereof, of one or more system data objects, the subsequent data validation being based upon data of the one or more system data objects without validating against any portion of the data document, wherein the data objects relate to one or more components of the industrial control system.
