Quality Control (QC) Vocabulary

QC Vocabulary defines terms that are used in QC with the goals of 1) Ensuring that terms are used consistently, and 2) ensuring that terms are encoded consistently. The page for this topic is here.

This page shows terms for the "DELIVERY-PACKAGE" category. 'Delivery package' covers both the packaging metadata (e.g., Media Manifest), and the contents of the package itself (i.e., whether it contains the correct pieces). Related specifications include Media Manifest and Media Manifest Core (MMC).

This category was introduced in Version 1.1
