Abstract: Methods, computing systems, and computer-readable media for determining whether data conforms to one or more rules. A rules engine executing on a processing device ingests the data during run time. When a structure of the ingested data is unknown, a pre-registered schema corresponding to the structure of the ingested data is obtained from a schema service during the run time. The rules engine generates a rule language file during the runtime based on the preregistered schema and one or more rules. The processing device updates a context of the rules engine based on the generated rule language file making the rules engine capable of running the one or more rules with the structure. The rules engine determines whether the ingested data of the structure conforms to the one or more rules. A data quality score is produced based on the one or more rules to which the ingested data conforms.
