verify for errors "in" or "of"

Hello, I'm wondering if the following sentence is correct: Some properties help in verifying the inputs for errors in the data.

Hi Clive,

Thanks for your reply. Here's the complete sentence, maybe it would help:
"Some aspects help in verifying the model inputs for errors like detecting wrong quantities of building elements which are gathered from a CAD/BIM environment, and errors in the defined process data like wrong interdependencies among production activities and wrong performance rates".

Well, I

Hi,

How about this?

Model inputs are checked as follows:
- incorrect quantities of building elements gathered from a CAD/BIM environment

Thanks. You are right, maybe the use of the word "aspect" is somehow confusing. Here's what I mean and call an Aspect:
Model inputs might be incorrect, so it is better to check these inputs for correctness and completeness. The check process is not spontaneous. It is based on a set of predefined "aspects". Each "aspect" defines a simple proper problem that might exist in the input data. Also,

Hi,

Yes.

Have a look at the word 'algorithm'.

Well, when it comes to the implementation of an aspect, then I need an algorithm to describe an aspect.

I'll try again: An aspect is like an item in a To-Do list. In order to check the completeness and correctness of the data, all items within the list must be checked. Suppose that the check process is a manual process. Then, each item in the To-Do list should have extra information that

Can you use "rules" or possibly "scenarios" instead of "aspects"?

What do you think about the word: "criterion"?
