## Web and Open Data Validator version 6.10.0
## Web and Open Data Validator version 6.11.0

The Web and Open Data Validator provides web developers and quality assurance testers the ability to perform a number of web site, web page validation and Open data validation tasks at one time. Web site checking includes
- WCAG 2.0 A and AA
- Accessibility: WCAG 2.0, Deque AXE orPa11y
- Link checking (e.g. broken links, broken anchors, cross language links)
- Mark-up validation (HTML, CSS, XML, Javascript)
- Mobile optimization (based on Yahoo's best practices)

Open data checking includes
- CSV, JSON, JSON schema and XML validation
- Content validation based on data dictionary patterns
- Data value consistency

## Major Changes

```

Open Data_Tool
#### Chrome Headless User agent
The Chrome headless user agent may be used rather than PhantomJS. The following must be installed in order to use Chrome
- Chrome version 69 or newer
- Node version 8 or newer - https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Puppeteer core module for node (install from command prompt) "npm install –g puppeteer-core"

If Chrome is not available, the WPSS_Tool will fall back to using PhantomJS and a message will be written to the stdout.txt file.

#### Deque AXE accessibility ruleset
Some of the Deque AXE accessibility rules may be checked. A new accessibility testcase profile is available to enable this checking. Details of the ruleset is available at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/3.3.

#### Pa11y Accessibility Test Tool
The Pa11y accessibility test tool may be run against web pages. The checks cannot be performed on pages behind a login (e.g. applications). A new accessibility testcase profile is available to enable this checking. Details on the Pa11y tool are available at https://github.com/pa11y/pa11y.
This tool requires
- Node version 8 or newer - https://nodejs.org/en/download/
- Pa11y module for node (install from command prompt) "npm install –g pa11y"

### Open Data_Tool

```
- Remove punctuation only after letters (i.e. not in numbers) to reduce false
errors - TP_PW_OD_CONT
- Check for at least 1 comma in the first line of CSV file - OD_VAL

separator) - TP_PW_OD_CONT
- Report MARC validation errors as content errors rather than Open Data errors - TP_PW_OD_CONT
- Validate very large XML files (> 100Mb) with a command line validator. Perl validation may fail
due to a limitation in the XML::Parser module - OD_VAL
- Check for very large text cells (> 32767 characters) in CSV files. These may be truncated by
spreadsheet tools (e.g. Excel) - TP_PW_OD_CONT
- Check that minimum and maximum values match in numeric and date columns for language
variants of data files - OD_DATA
- Use first value in column as possible header label if no data dictionary is specified - OD_DATA
- Check that heading descriptions are not the same as the heading label - TP_PW_OD_DD
- Check that descriptions are different for each language - TP_PW_OD_DD
- Don't check value inconsistencies for columns that have data patterns that would
report errors - TP_PW_OD_CONT
- Report duplicate data rows or columns under testcase id TP_PW_OD_CONT_DUP so it can be filtered
- Report inconsistent data values under testcase id TP_PW_OD_CONT_CONSISTENCY so it can be
filtered
- Check for inconsistent capitalization for short (fewer than 100 characters) text
cells - TP_PW_OD_CONT_CONSISTENCY
```

Version 6.10.0 contains the following updates and additions
A new Open Data testcase profile “PWGSC OD (core)” is available that eliminates duplicate data and inconsistent data checks from testing. This should be used for datasets that have valid duplicate or inconsistent data cells as this reduces false error messages.
