Systems and methods for content collection validation

A system comprising:

• a content collection processor for retrieving data collected in a memory, the content collection processor configured to determine a first error characterizing a problem encountered during collection of the data in the memory;
• a validation processor operatively coupled to the content collection processor and the memory, the validation processor comprising a pre-validation module configured to receive the data from the content collection processor, the pre-validation module configured to determine a second error characterizing an improper indexing within the received data and a third error characterizing an improper integration of metadata within the received data, the validation processor configured to generate a notification specifying at least one of the first error, the second error, and the third error;
• and
• a support system operatively coupled to the validation processor, the support system configured to facilitate troubleshooting of at least one of the first error, the second error, and the third error specified in the notification.

A method comprising:

• scanning, by at least one processor, a memory to detect a control file populated in the memory by a server operatively coupled to the memory, the control file including control data, the control file being associated with an index file populated in the memory by the server;
• verifying, by the at least one processor, accuracy of the control data;
• modifying, by the at least one processor, at least one parameter of the index file such that the index file can be recognized for inclusion within a content collection process when the control data is accurate, the content collection process comprising a pre-validation stage and a content collection stage;
• generating, by the at least one processor, a notification when the control data is inaccurate, the notification comprising identifications of a plurality of errors determined during different stages of the content collection process and, for each error of the plurality of errors, an identification of a corresponding stage in which the error was determined, the plurality of errors comprising an indexing error, a metadata integrity error, and a content collection error, the indexing error and the metadata integrity error occurring during the pre-validation stage, the content collection error occurring during the content collection stage;
• and
• sending, by the at least one processor, the notification to the server.

A non-transitory computer program product storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

• scanning a memory to detect a control file populated in the memory by a server operatively coupled to the memory, the control file including control data, the control file being associated with an index file populated in the memory by the server;
• verifying accuracy of the control data;
• modifying at least one parameter of the index file such that the index file can be recognized for inclusion within a content collection task when the control data is accurate, the content collection task comprising a pre-validation stage and a content collection stage;
• generating a notification when the control data is inaccurate, the notification comprising identifications of a plurality of errors determined during different stages of the content collection task and, for each error of the plurality of errors, an identification of a corresponding stage in which the error was determined, the plurality of errors comprising an indexing error, a metadata integrity error, and a content collection error, the indexing error and the metadata integrity error occurring during the pre-validation stage, the content collection error occurring during the content collection stage;
• and
• sending the notification to the server.
