The taxonomy has been divided into 4 categories.

1. NUMBER
2. TEXT
3. DATE
4. OTHER

The validation of taxonomy based on length and pattern is done based on above 4 categories. Each taxonomy validator has to define it category by implementing ‘getCategory()’ method.

Methodology to validate length based on category

• For TEXT category the minLength and maxLength columns will refer to the actual length of the string.
• For NUMBER category the minLength and maxLength columns will refer to the minimum and maximum allowed integer value for the input
• For DATE category the minLength and maxLength columns will refer to the minimum offset value (in number of days – positive or negative) from current date in which input date is allowed.
• For OTHER category length validation will not be performed.
