+%description
+A common issue when receiving data either electronically or from user input is
+verifying the integrity of the data. This work is repetitive and becomes even
+more complicated when different sets of validation rules need to be applied to
+the same set of data based on locale for example. Error messages may also vary
+by locale. This package attempts to address some of these issues and speed
+development and maintenance of validation rules.
