Quality Control (QC) Vocabulary

QC Vocabulary defines terms that are used in QC with the goals of 1) Ensuring that terms are used consistently, and 2) ensuring that terms are encoded consistently. The page for this topic is here.

This page shows terms for the "METADATA" category. This category covers metadata errors, including those from these specifications: Common Metadata, Media Entertainment Core (MEC)

In the future, we intend to add errors from the Validator.
