Check a file against the IRW Data Standard

Drop a CSV or TSV file below to check it against the IRW Data Standard (version 1.0). Your file never leaves your browser. The checks run on your own computer, and nothing is sent to the IRW or anywhere else.

NoteBeta

The standard and this validator are new and in beta. If the validator reports something about your file that you think is wrong, please open an issue and include the plain-text report shown below the results. Knowing where the checks are wrong is how they get better.

You get two answers. Conforms to the standard says whether the file is a valid IRW table. Passes IRW’s intake checks also applies the IRW’s own rules for what it hosts, such as the minimum of 100 respondents. You only need that second answer if you plan to contribute the file.

Up to 100 MB. Larger files are slow in a browser; use irw-validate instead.

Loading the validator (about 15 MB the first time; cached after that)…

The same checks are available on the command line, which is faster for large files and can run in CI:

pip install irw-validate
irw-validate mydata.csv
