Identify value sets? Constrain what is legal? What can be said where? ►Correctness ►with regards to what gold standard? ►Usability - ►can it be used by authors? end users? rearchers? …? ►Reliability ►do users always enter / understand information the same way? the same user? different users? different locales? ►is it always bound to documents / EHRs in the same way? ►Robustness - what errors are introduced in the face of the unexpected / incorrect use? How likely are different types of incorrect usage? ►technical? ►human factors?

(inter-rater reliability)? ‣ do users use it as intended - rater-author consensus? ►Semantic / Ontological ‣ are the intended meanings explicit? correct? attributed to authorities? ‣ do users understand the implications of their entries? queries? Logical / Software -Are the inferences and answers to queries as intended? -Does the logical model match the intended semantics? -What extra-logical representation is needed? How can it be validated? -Is it logically self consistent ? Does extralogical operations conform to spec? ‣ Lexical / linguistic -Are ID and Naming conventions observed? synonyms adequate? -Do labels reflect clinical discourse intuitively? Are they misleading? -Are multilingual/multi-cultural issues addressed? Validated? Anomalies public? -* Syntactic -Does the data model connect properly? - …
