Property	Value
A technical identifier, unique in a certain context. Technical key	COUNTRY_INVALID
The human-friendly name shown for this concept in the user interface, used instead of the technical name to improve readability and understanding. Display name	Country invalid
Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description	This category includes data quality rules that detect country information that is incorrect or inappropriately positioned. This can include country names in wrong fields, use of incorrect country codes, or country information that doesn't match standardized ISO country codes. For example, using full country names where ISO 2-letter codes are expected, or having country information duplicated across multiple fields inappropriately. The validation ensures country information is properly positioned, correctly formatted, and uses appropriate standardized codes. Misplaced or incorrectly represented country data causes problems with address validation, international shipping, and geographic analytics. These rules support the Representational_consistency dimension by ensuring country information follows expected conventions and field placement.
