CODVerif

CODVerif is an approach that aims to verify the data being inserted in a data store continuously. CODVerif leverages the combination of ontology and workflow technologies in order to define workflows that are specific to the domain of “monitoring data insertion.” These domain-specific workflows are constrained on two dimensions: (1) They use a set of workflow elements that are specific to the “monitoring data insertion” domain. (2) The logic that these workflows support is predefined by relying on a set of common data insertion scenarios. Nevertheless, CODVerif is flexible enough to allow users to define continuous data verification workflows with higher complexity logic thanks to workflow operators that can be applied on the “monitoring data insertion domain”-specific workflows. To illustrate the applicability of CODVerif, the authors deploy it in a customer relationship management (CRM) application and show how CODVerif is used to support users to verify the data they populate in the CRM. They have also evaluated the CODVerif approach.
