Quality Review Part2: DVV & OCR Digital Validator and Verification The DVV! • Validate is done with our vendor (to ensure technical specs) if it is successful it creates a signature (underscore) • Verify: We verify when we receive it and again before it is shipped. This verifies that it has been validated. Important for long term sustainability & when transferring information from one system to the next. OCR! • The optical character recognition is checked on 10% of the data • ENG & columns e.g., 10,140 * 10% = 1,014 pages per batch

Editor's Notes
- #8 Example of a problem
- #10 This begins when we receive the har Validate and Update: This commands the DVV to check the data for adherence to the NDNP technical specification. If successful, the DVV creates digital signatures for each object being validated, and it records the signatures in XML files at the batch, issue, and reel level as necessary. These XML files are commonly referred to as the 'underscore 1' files (e.g. batch_1.xml). A batch without 'underscore 1' files has not been validated.Validate With No Update:This commands the DVV to simply check the data for adherence to the NDNP technical specification. No signatures are created, and no changes are made to the batch. This is often used as a test run validation prior to initiating “validate and update”. Verification: Batch verification checks the digital signatures of all files in the batch. This process can only be initiated after a batch has been validated. Typically vendors and awardees verify that a batch is valid before shipping. Verification is a process to help ensure integrity of data over time. Generally, it should occur anytime data moves across storage systems and anytime changes are made to a batch. d drive with all of the files on it. We run a verification, which is from LoC
