Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description	This category groups data quality rules that check whether a value follows the notation prescribed for it. Identifiers, bank details, phone numbers, and postal codes are each defined by an issuing body or standard that fixes their length, character set, and permitted structure, frequently differing from country to country. Rules in this group evaluate a value against the regular expression that captures the applicable pattern, which makes them a cheap first line of defense: a value that does not match the pattern cannot be correct and needs no lookup in an external source to be rejected. It is the parent of the format categories for identifiers, IBANs, domestic bank details, phone numbers, and postal codes. The group supports the Representational consistency dimension by enforcing a uniform notation across all records.
Sub categories	Domestic bank account number format, Domestic bank identifier format, IBAN format, Identifier format, Phone number format, Postal code format, Postal code outdated
