A data element, action, transaction, or process is valid if and only if it meets all requirements of the RNIF specification. Validation is the act of comparing such an entity against the specified requirements to determine validity or invalidity. Note that each action within a transaction must meet the content and sequence requirements for that transaction. Similarly, each transaction within a process must meet the content and sequence requirements of that process. Such validation is an essential part of testing an implementation. It is also anticipated that the validation team will develop specific requirements for such validation during production use of an implementation.
