1. A method for providing validity logic, the method comprising:
- storing validity data;
receiving at least one data value;
determining, from the stored validity data, validity data corresponding to the received at least one data value, wherein the determined validity data comprises;
a validity type element indicating one of the following validity types;
validity by time, validity by artificial category, and validity by time and artificial category, anda validity information element, whereinif the validity type element indicates validity by time, the validity information element comprises time data including at least one of a time period for which the received at least one data value is valid and a time period for which the received at least one data value is invalid; and
based on the determined validity data corresponding to the received at least one data value, providing a validity value by a processor.

11. A system for providing validity logic, the system comprising:
-
a memory storage for maintaining a database that includes validity data; and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to receive at least one data value; determine, from the stored validity data, validity data corresponding to the received at least one data value, wherein the determined validity data comprises; a validity type element indicating one of the following validity types;
validity by time, validity by artificial category, and validity by time and artificial category, anda validity information element, wherein if the validity type element indicates validity by time, the validity information element comprises time data including at least one of a time period for which the received at least one data value is valid and a time period for which the received at least one data value is invalid; and based on the determined validity data corresponding to the received at least one data value, provide a validity value. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
