This rule checks that every view in the data model has a human-readable description.

Why it matters

A missing description makes it harder for users (humans or machines) to understand in what context the view should be used. The description can provide important information about the view’s purpose, scope, and usage.

Example

The Site view has no description. Users may find it difficult to understand what this view represents without extra context. Even if we know that Site is used in the context of wind energy developments, a description is necessary as it can be used in various contexts within the same domain, such as:
  • Option 1 — Project area: This view represents a geographical area where wind energy projects are developed and managed.
  • Option 2 — Lease area: The legally defined lease area allocated for offshore wind development.
  • Option 3 — Measurement site: A specific location where wind measurements (e.g., LiDAR, met mast) are collected.
