Quality of entry

[Kjell Arne Brudvik 0]

It would be nice to have a way to determine a ruleset that could determine the quality of a person record, and it's different citations.

E.g - a score from 0 to 100.

Ranges:

• 0-20 = Poor quality
• 20-30 = Low quality
• 30-50 = Medium quality
• 50-80 = Good quality
• 80-90 = High quality
• 90-100 = Outstanding quality

Example:

• Birth record (40) has been cited:
  • Citation: Original church record for birth (90)
  • Citation: Original church record for death (60)
  • Citation: Original church record for confirmation (40)
  • Citation: Toombstone (30)
  • Citation: Living relative (80)
  • Citation: Notes from relatives (20)
• Confirmation record (30) has been cited
  • Citation: Original church record for confirmation (100)
• Death record (40) has been cited.
  • Citation: Original church record for death (90)
  • Citation: Toombstone (10)
• Toomstone record (30) has been cited.
• Marriage record (40) has been cited.

Situations:

1. Church record for birth + death = 90+60 = 150 - e.g. quality is at 100 (max) - high quality birth record entry.
2. Toombstone + notes from relative = 30 + 20 = 50 - e.g. medium quality birth record entry.
3. Notes only = 20 = poor quality birth record entry.
4. No citations = poor quality birth record.

Then, combine the different records - and have a overall score of that person profile.

Situations:

1. Person with a birth record score of 90 - would have a 90% score at birth record - e.g. 36 out of 40 - which would deem the total quality at medium quality.
2. Person with a birth record score of 80 (e.g. 32), confirmation score of 100 (e.g. 30) and a death record score of 90% of death record (e.g. 36) - would have a total score of 98, which means outstanding quality.

This is of course just ideas and thoughts - it would just be a helpful feature to make sure that all your records have at least some quality assurance.
