source-integrity

To validate research source integrity during data ingestion, you verify content checksums, enforce metadata completeness, and check expiry dates for file and URL sources. This process ensures standardized schema compliance and flags remediation when checks fail.

Checksum validation detects modified research data by applying cryptographic hashes to file and URL sources during ingestion. If the computed checksum changes, the system flags the source as modified, preventing stale or altered data from influencing decisions.

Required metadata fields for research source validation include title, kind, path, added_utc, and expiry_date. Enforcing this metadata completeness maintains a standardized schema across research sources and citations to ensure secure decision-making.

To handle expired research sources, the validation process flags expired citations and suggests either refreshing the data or providing a justification for extension. This expiry management prevents stale data from influencing workflows.

Yes, you can validate external URL sources without local files. The validation applies to both file and URL sources, verifying checksums, enforcing metadata completeness, and tracking expiry dates to ensure data integrity across decision-making workflows.

Source integrity validation flags remediation for missing metadata to enforce a standardized schema across research sources. Failing checks indicate incomplete required fields like title or expiry_date, preventing unverified data from entering ingestion workflows.
