Completeness

•  There is an information definition. 
•  The information definition covers all of the information as defined in the scope statement.

Notes:

1. The information definition can be a standalone document or embedded into another document such as a service description.
2. The information definition can be made up of a set of documents. 
3. The scope statement contained in the information definition helps to answer this check.

Correctness

•  The information definition is written in English.
•  The information definition uses the primary British spelling when conflicting spellings of a word exist.

Completeness

•  The information definition has a title.
•  The information definition has an edition.
•  The information definition has a reference date.

Completeness

•  The information definition contains the name of the responsible person or organisation.
•  The information definition contains contact information for the responsible party.
•  The information definition contains the role played by the responsible party.

Completeness

•  The information definition contains a textual description of the scope of the information covered by the information definition.
•  The scope clearly delineates what is covered by the information definition.

Completeness

•  The information definition declares a dedicated namespace for its concepts.

Completeness

•  The information definition contains a name for each of its information concepts and data concepts. 
•  The information definition contains a definition for each of its information concepts and data concepts.
•  The information definition contains a data type for each of its data concepts.

Consistency

•  There are no duplicated concepts in the same namespace within the information definition.
•  The concepts within the information definition are consistent with each other i.e. that concepts do not contradict each other.
  
•  The concepts within the information definition are consistent with their reference material.

Notes:

1. Reference material includes e.g. any ISO standards used in the information definition.

Correctness

•  Each concept's name, definition and data type are correct i.e. that they actually represent what they should.

Completeness

either:

•  Each concept has a unique identifier in accordance with IETF RFC 3986.

or

•  Each concept can be uniquely identified through some other mechanism e.g. by being uniquely named in a namespace.

Consistency

•  The information definition uses definitions that are consistent with the AIRM when the concept's name is the same as that in the AIRM.

Correctness

•  The information definition has applied the principles for definitions for each of its concepts.

Consistency

•  The definitions of the metadata fields in the information definition are consistent (not contradictory) with the AIRM's metadata standard.

Consistency

•  The information definition’s basic data types do not conflict with those in the AIRM.

Completeness

•  The information definition has a semantic correspondence statement for each concept.

Completeness

•  Each semantic correspondence statement contains one of the four options allowed by the specification.

Completeness

•  Each semantic correspondence declaring that a concept in an information definition is out-of-scope of the AIRM has a rationale.
•  Each semantic correspondence declaring that no semantic correspondence has been established has a rationale.

Correctness

•  Each trace from the information concept in the information definition is to the AIRM concept that has an equivalent or wider meaning.

Correctness

•  Each trace from the data concept in the information definition is to the AIRM concept that has an equivalent or wider meaning.
•  Each trace from the data type in the information definition is to the AIRM data type that has an equivalent or wider meaning.

Correctness

•  Each additional trace to fully describe the narrowing of the concept being mapped is to the correct AIRM concept.

Correctness

•  Each trace in the information definition uses the unique identifier provided by the AIRM concept at its end-point.
