Use activity values from the activity list

Rule name

Use activities from the activity list

Rule type

Data quality warning

Rule hint

Data users can more easily make use of this property consistently across a number of activity providers if they are mapped to the OpenActive activity list.

Examples

• Use activities from the activity list openactive/implementation-tracker#153

[ldodds]

From a data validation point of view this could be broken down further:

• Recommend that activities are taken from a list, where we can tell they are not (when using a list the individual concepts should link to it)

• When referencing a list, confirm whether the activity name/id being used actually occurs in that list

The latter will require parsing and checking the list being referenced. As we create a standard list, we will want to do that, but we might want a validator to be able to check other lists too.

The first check is a simple warning, the latter should be done now, as a later feature of the validator.
