Keresztvalidation

Keresztvalidation is a term that appears to be a portmanteau of the Hungarian word "kereszt" meaning "cross" and the English word "validation". In technical contexts, particularly in software development or data processing, it might refer to a type of cross-checking or validation process where data is compared against multiple independent sources or criteria to ensure accuracy and integrity. This could involve comparing values between different fields within a record, verifying data against external databases, or ensuring that data conforms to a set of predefined rules or schemas. The "cross" aspect implies a comparison or intersection of information from different points.

The specific implementation of keresztvalidation would depend heavily on the domain in which it is used. For instance, in database management, it could be a constraint that requires a value in one column to be present in another related column or to satisfy a condition based on another field's value. In data entry, it might involve real-time checks that compare a user's input against expected formats or allowable ranges, potentially flagging discrepancies. The goal is to identify and rectify errors or inconsistencies, thereby improving the overall quality and reliability of the data or system.
