AUTOMATED PUBLISHED DATA MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

An automated published data monitoring system implements a content validation service capable of validating published data in accordance with programmable criteria. A root data location is provided and validation of such data includes crawling a hierarchical organization of addiitonal data. Deserializers are specific to identified collections of data and deserialize data into strongly typed data structures that are programmatically validatable. Deserializers register themselves to handle collections of data identified based upon the location and domain of such data. Additionally, validators are specific to types of data structures and programmatically validate such data structures including validating their type and their correctness, the latter as compared to statically or dynamically defined limits. Validators register themselves to handle specified types of data structures originating from specific data collections. Content can be validated in accordance with either a depth-first or breadth-first validation.
