A county wants every parcel ID to match an established cadastral pattern. Which family of data quality rules does this requirement represent?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Pattern rules are the ID badge checker—'does this look like a real parcel ID?' Format and correctness rules encode what 'valid' means for the domain. Matching the cadastral pattern is that kind of rule, not a freshness check.
Full Explanation
Correctness and format rules express domain expectations such as patterns, code lists, and structural constraints. Requiring parcel IDs to match a cadastral pattern is a classic format-style correctness rule. Such rules make implicit domain knowledge testable and monitorable.
