Methods of constraint and validation

validate …

• against a grammar-based (closed) schema
• against a rule-based (open) schema
• by checking that links
  • point anywhere (i.e., syntactically valid)
  • point to something (i.e., can be resolved)
  • point to the right kind of thing (i.e., make sense)
  • point to the right thing (i.e., are correct)
• by checking semantic reasonableness (e.g., birthdate comes before date of death)
• by checking semantic correctness (i.e., proofreading)
• by looking at output of normal processing — end-game validation

TEI Customization lets you use a grammar-based schema and a rule-based schema simultaneously with extensive human-readable documentation.
