All Known Subinterfaces:

ConformanceResult, CoverageResult, DescriptiveResult, QuantitativeResult

     specification=ISO_19157)
public interface Result

Base interface of more specific result classes. At least one data quality result shall be provided for each data quality element. Different types of results can be provided for the same data quality elements. This could be a quantitative result, a conformance result, a descriptive result or a coverage result.

Since:

2.0

• Element.getResults()

TODO:

Renamed in 19157:2022: QualityResult.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default Temporal	getDateTime()	Date when the result was generated.
default Scope	getResultScope()	Scope of the result.

Method Details

getResultScope

@UML(identifier="resultScope",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19157)
default Scope getResultScope()

Scope of the result. Quality frequently differs between various parts of the data set for which quality is evaluated. Therefore several evaluations may be applied for the same data quality element. To avoid repeating the measure and evaluation procedure descriptions in several instances of Element, several results with individual result scopes can be used.

Returns:

scope of the result, or null if unspecified.

Since:

3.1

getDateTime

@UML(identifier="dateTime",
     obligation=OPTIONAL,
     specification=ISO_19157)
default Temporal getDateTime()

Date when the result was generated. The returned value should be an instance of LocalDate, LocalDateTime, OffsetDateTime or ZonedDateTime, depending whether hours are defined and how the timezone (if any) is defined. But other types are also allowed.

Returns:

date of the result, or null if none.
