SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VALIDATION

1 . A method comprising:

receiving a selection of a validation rule, the validation rule comprising a validation element;

receiving a selection of a first triggering event associated with the validation rule;

validating data using the validation rule and in response to the first triggering event;

receiving a selection of a second triggering event associated with the validation rule; and

validating the data using the validation rule and in response to the second triggering event.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the validation element comprises a pre-defined template.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the validation rule is associated with a particular data field to be validated.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first triggering event is one or more of a pre-defined time and an operation.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first triggering event and the second triggering event is a pre-defined events in a media lifecycle.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the validation rule comprises a comparison of the data to a validation comparator.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein validating data further comprises applying the validation element to a data field prescribed by the validation rule.

8 . A method comprising:

receiving content having a parameter;

applying a first operation to the content;

validating the parameter of the content using a validation rule and in response to the first operation, wherein the validation rule is associated with the first operation;

applying a second operation to the content; and

validating the parameter of the content using the validation rule and in response to the second operation, wherein the validation rule is associated with the second operation.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the parameter comprises a data field defining an attribute of the content.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the validation rule references a validation element to be applied to the parameter of the content.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the validation rule comprises a pre-defined template.

12 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the first operation and the second operation are pre-defined events in a media lifecycle.

13 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the first operation is based upon a user-provided input.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein validating the parameter further comprises comparing the data to a validation comparator.

15 . The method of claim 8 , wherein validating the parameter further comprises applying the validation element to a data field prescribed by the validation rule.

16 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining whether the validation of the parameter is fatal to the performance of the operation.

17 . A system comprising:

a memory storing one or more validation templates; and

at least one processor in communication with the memory, the at least one processor configured to:

receive a selection of one or more of the validation templates, wherein the validation templates comprise a validation element;

receive a selection of a first triggering event associated with the validation template;

validate data using a validation rule and in response to the first triggering event;

receive a selection of a second triggering event associated with the validation template; and

validate the data using the validation rule and in response to the second triggering event.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the first triggering event is one or more of a pre-defined time, a pre-defined event in a media lifecycle, and an operation.

19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein validating data further comprises comparing the data to a validation comparator of the validation element.

20 . The system of claim 17 , wherein validating data further comprises applying the validation element to a data field prescribed by the validation rule.
