difference between the validators? #31

It appears that there's a difference in the validation schemes between the inventory.data.gov validator and data.civicagency.org. The USDA ERS datasets passed the former but not the latter. We had to go back and make additional changes to pass the OMB/GSA review.

They're both relying on the same validation schema but using different code to enforce it. However, I think the issue you're noticing is more of a legacy issue from an older release of inventory.data.gov before dataQuality was a field that could be specified.

If we update that record to use the GUI to specify the dataQuality field I think that should address the validation problem (where it's being treated as a string rather than a boolean). I'll ticket that on the issue tracker for inventory.data.gov and sort it out there.

Separately, it looks like there's stricter validation for this field in catalog.data.gov than with the dashboard and I'll ticket that separately.

I believe the validator updates have addressed this,
