D a t e s a n d T i m e s

The time column used throughout the S/H/I schema is stored as epochal time, the num-ber of seconds since January 1, 1970. Epochal time has a precision of one millisecond. Often time is matched by the more readable field, jdate. This “Julian date” represents a day in the form yyyyddd; for example, 1981231 where 1981 is the year (yyyy) and 231 is the day of year (ddd).

O r a c l e D a t a Ty p e s

The PIDC database uses four of the available ORACLE data types:

■ varchar2(n)

All character data in the database are defined to be varchar2(n) where n is the maximum number of characters in the string. varchar2 does not store trailing blanks.

■ number(n)

All integer fields in the database are defined to be number(n) where n is the maximum number of digits allowed in the field. Number may also be used without specifying the maximum number of digits.

■ float(n)

ORACLE supports the float(n) data type where n is the maximum number of binary digits. Float allows the approximation of single and double precision floats commonly used in scientific programming. The decimal point may be specified anywhere from the first to the last digit (or not at all). All real num-bers in the database are single precision float(24), except for epoch time fields such as time, endtime, and other time fields that are double precision float(53).

■ date

The only columns in the database that are declared to be the ORACLE date data type are the lddate, moddate, last_mig_date, offdate, ondate, and initialdatecolumns, which store the day and time a record was inserted into the database or last modified.

O V E R V I E W

This chapter contains entity-relationship diagrams that show the relationships among database tables for the IDC database schema. The diagrams include the table names, and, in most cases, the keys as well as the names of all of the columns. The table name is always shown at the top of the table symbol. Keys (if present) are shown below the table name. The primary key of a table is indicated with a black key symbol. An optional for-eign key is indicated with a white key symbol. Keys consisting of multiple columns are shown with a key symbol next to the first column of the key, and the remaining columns are listed beneath with no symbol. All column names (if present) are shown below the key section in the diagrams. Some of the key columns in the schema have been denor-malized for convenience and usability. For readability, relationships for denormalized keys are not shown. Furthermore, the primary key, commid, of the table remark is not explicitly drawn in the tables in which it appears as a foreign key.

C o l u m n R e l a t i o n s h i p s

Relationships between tables are usually indicated by naming the column or columns through which two tables are related. Table 1 explains the syntax used. In many cases the column names that must be compared in the two tables are not identical, or a column value in one table must be compared to more than one column value in another table. The delimiters in the syntax are the dash (-) and the slash (/). A dash (-) separates groups of column names from the two tables, and slashes (/) separate the columns that comprise the composite key. Other symbols, such as equal (=), vertical bar (|), ampersand (&), and brackets, specify how the columns are compared. Expressions within brackets in rela-tionships between tables are evaluated first. The order of operations is: =, |, and &.

TABLE 1: SYNTAX USED TO INDICATE DATABASE TABLE RELATIONSHIPS

Syntax Definition

col This is the simplest case where the column names (col) of the keys in the tables at each end of the relationship are the same. Both keys consist of a single column.

col1/col2 A slash (/) is used when a key is comprised of multiple columns. Here, the keys in both tables are the same and consist of two col-umns, col1 and col2.

col1-col2 A dash (-) is used when the column names of the keys in the two tables are not the same. Col1 is the name of the key column in one table. Col2 is the name of the key column in the other table. Each key consists of a single column. Only one dash may be used, and the dash separates the keys of the two tables. A dash can be com-bined with slash (/) to show that the keys consist of multiple col-umns and that one or more of the columns have different names in the two tables as in col1/col2-col3/col4 (both parts of the key are different in the two tables), or col1/col2-col1/col3 (only the second part of the key is different in the two tables).

col1-col2/col3=value An equals sign (=) is used when a component of a key must be set to a particular value. Here col1 is the name of the key column in one table. Col2 and col3 are the names of the key columns in the other table, and col3 must be set to the shown value. See the arid-tagid/tagname=arid relationship between arrival and wftag and orid-tagid/tagname=orid relationship between origin and wftag.

col1-col2 | col3 A vertical line (|) is used to show that the key in a table could be one of a set of columns. This is different from a key that consists of multiple columns. Here col1 corresponds to either col2 or col3. See the magid-mbid|msid|mlid relationship between netmag and origin.

col1-col2 & col3 An ampersand (&) is used to show that a key in one table must have a value between the values of two keys in another table. Here the value of col1 must be between the values of col2 and col3. See the sta/chan/time-sta/chan/time&endtime relationship between wfdisc and sensor.

The relationship shown in Figure 1, with table_1 columns on the left and table_2 col-umns on the right, demonstrates the possible relationships between the columns of two different tables. The syntax of Table 1 is used to interpret the relationships between the columns of table_1 and table_2 in Figure 1. Col8 in table_2 has no matching column in table_1 and must be equal to value in this relationship. All other columns have one or more corresponding columns in the other table. Following the syntax, col1 in table_1

must have the same value as col1 in table_2, col2 in table_1 must have a value between col4 and col5 in table_2, and col3 in table_1 must match either col6 or col7 in table_2 for the one-to-many relationship indicated by the entity-relationship symbol (Table I on page xxv) to be true.

FIGURE 1. SAMPLE ENTITY RELATIONSHIP

(col1)-(col2) Brackets () are used to show that the keys within them have differ-ent formats and a conversion must be made to make the compari-son. Here col1 corresponds to col2, but col1 and col2 have different storage formats (usually an epoch time versus a date). See the sta/chan/(time)-sta/chan/(ondate&offdate) relationship between sitechan and siteaux.

Some of the entity-relationship diagrams show more than one relationship between two tables. For example, there are two relationships between the origin and event tables in Figure 2: a many-to-zero or many-to-one relationship through evid and a zero-to-one or one-to-one relationship through prefor-orid. The evid relationship states that for every origin entry, there is zero or one corresponding entry in event where the evid in origin

equals the evid in event, and for every event entry, there are many origin entries where the evid in event equals the evid in origin. The prefor-orid relationship states that for every origin entry, there is zero or one corresponding entry in event where the orid in origin

equals the prefor in event, and for every event entry, there is one origin entry where the prefor in event equals the orid in origin.

Ta b l e C a t e g o r i e s

The database tables of the schema are grouped into natural categories. The first category contains the fundamental tables used with S/H/I data. These tables are used by many applications and are frequently updated. The fundamental tables contain a smaller set called the core tables. The core tables, which have remained essentially unchanged for many years, have been widely adopted by other seismological organizations, and there-fore their definitions are virtually immutable. The relationships between the fundamental tables are shown in Figures 2 through 7.

Figures 8, 9, and 10 show the relationships of tables in the second category, referential tables for S/H/I data. These tables are read by many applications, but seldom if ever are the contents altered. Most of the data in these tables pertain to International Monitoring System (IMS) stations and seismic networks.

Relationships between tables used by only a few application programs are shown in 11 additional figures. These are further grouped according to the software configuration items of the software architecture. Figures 11 and 12 have tables associated with auto-matic processing; Figures 13, 14, and 15 have tables associated with interactive process-ing; and Figure 16 has tables associated with management of distributed processes. Figures 17 through 21 are related to the data services software; Figures 22 and 23 are used by system monitoring software; Figure 24 shows tables that facilitate use of the database; and finally, Figure 25 shows tables that contain information about historical explosions.

The fundamental tables have been part of seismic processing at the PIDC from its incep-tion. They hold data characterizing time-series signals as well as the collections of sig-nals that are associated with a particular origin or event.

Figure 2 summarizes the fundamental tables. In this figure, only the table names and keys are shown. Those tables that are part of the core set are labeled 3.0 core and 3.1 core, indicating previous versions of the schema [And90a], [Swa91], [Swa93]. Figure 3shows the tables that have data related to signal arrivals and the association of arrivals to origins and events. Additional data about signal arrivals are recorded in the tables shown in Figure 4, and Figure 5 shows tables holding data about source size.

Tables holding data used for event characterization are shown in Figure 6. Finally, Fig-ure 7 shows the relationships of tables that have information about the time-series data, which are themselves saved in conventional files.

S u m m a r y o f Ta b l e s a n d K e y s

Fundamental tables related to stored time series, detected signals, and relationships between signals and events are shown in Figure 2. This summary provides the table names, keys, and relationships, but each table is presented in its entirety in a subsequent figure.

Data from the IMS stations (wfdisc) are processed for detections (detection) from which arrivals and signal characteristics are extracted (amplitude, arrival, stassoc). The signals are used to infer event locations (assoc, event, netmag, origerr, origin, originref, parrival, stamag).

E v e n t

Figure 3 shows tables involved in forming origin hypotheses and events. Each table is part of the core set. Tables with information about event arrivals, location, origin time, and error are included. During automated processing, groups of arrivals from several sta-tions are associated with presumed events. The initial origin estimate for an individual station is contained in the stassoc table, which is related to the arrival table through stassid. Specific arrivals listed in the arrival table are associated with origins in the origin

table through the assoc table. An event may have several different origins, each of which is a different estimate. The preferred origin is indicated in the event table.

M e a s u r e m e n t s

The tables shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6 contain additional data about seismic and hydroacoustic signals and the magnitudes, locations, and characteristics of events. Most tables in this category lie outside the core set and are used by a smaller number of appli-cations.

Figure 4 shows tables that have detailed data about arrivals. Figure 5 shows tables related to the location, origin time, and size of an event.

The event characterization tables in Figure 6 include spvar, complexity, splp, thirdmom, timefreq, and ceppks. The spvar table contains arrival-based information and is related to the arrival table through arid. The other tables contain origin-based measurements and are related to origin through orid.

The tables shown in this section are used by fewer applications than those previously described. The tables are organized by computer software configuration items (CSCIs).

A u t o m a t i c P r o c e s s i n g

The event_control table is used by the event location and magnitude programs to pre-serve the values of key parameters that analysts set while reviewing the bulletin (see Fig-ure 11), and it is also used in post-analysis processing. The seisgrid and seisindex hold historical seismicity data. The tables are also used by event quality control software.

The tables in this group support the work of S/H/I data analysts, but they are not linked to any of the core tables. Figure 13 shows tables involved in scheduling the work of ana-lysts and recording progress. Figure 14 shows tables for the Map application. The tables have information about the base maps, as well as overlays and colors.

Interactive analysis frequently includes calculation of frequency spectrums and frequency-wave number spectrums. Figure 15 shows tables that record the results of these calculations.

The Data Services CSCI has software to receive and forward continuous time-series data, software of the Message and Subscription Subsystems, and software used to archive time-series data.

Figure 17 shows relationships between tables of the Continuous Data Subsystem. These hold data about computers from which data are provided, computers on which data are stored for processing, and computers to which data are forwarded. Tables are also used by applications that ensure the integrity and completeness of forwarded data.

The datauser table supports both the Message and Subscription Subsystems. The std_chanmap and exception_chanmap tables are used by the Message Subsystem (Auto-DRM) and in Performance Monitoring (stacap) to map external channel names to chan-nel names used internally (Figure 20).

FIGURE 20. MESSAGE AND SUBSCRIPTION SUBSYSTEM SUPPORT TABLES

The tables of the data archiving subsystem contain information used by the software subsystems that migrate database tables between databases and that migrate time-series data to the mass-storage device (see Figure 21).

The tables of the System Monitoring CSCI track the state of the hardware and software as well as the quality of the scientific results. Xlogger is used to record problems discov-ered in the system. The sitepoll table is a list of auxiliary seismic stations and channels that are regularly “polled” to determine their availability. System and performance mon-itoring applications tables are displayed in Figure 22.

FIGURE 22. TABLES USED BY SYSTEM MONITORING APPLICATIONS

Figure 23 displays tables that hold data pertinent to monitoring scientific performance. The bull_comp table (used by an application of the same name) compares event origins first estimated by automatic analysis against origins finally accepted by analysts. In the figure, the origin table on the left exists in the database account for automatic processing, and the origin table on the right exists in the account for interactive processing. The orig-

inaux table holds data that are in bulletins provided by other organizations, but do not fit elsewhere in the schema. The three tables at the bottom of the figure are used by other evaluation applications.

The allow_resid table contains the allowable maximums for the absolute values of resid-uals for time, azimuth, and slowness. The allowed residuals are a function of phase type and station type (single station or array), and for each of these, the allowed residuals may vary for different distance ranges. A negative value for the residual indicates an arrival field that is not permitted to be defining for that phase, statype, and distance range.

The alphasite table is used for tracking continuous data connections by the DLMan appli-cation. For a given station, there must be a row in the table for each address from which the station may send continuous data. Prefdlid and prefport describe the preferred DLManconnection for the station. DLMan fills in dlid and time while a station is actively con-nected. Dlid indicates to which dlid the station is currently connected (may be different from prefdlid), and time is the system time for the last activity on the station’s connection (not the time of any data received). For stations that are not connected, time and dlid are zero (0).

The sensor table contains calibration information for specific sensor channels. This table provides a record of updates in the calibration factor or clock error of each instrument and links a sta/chan/time to a complete instrument response in the table instrument. Waveform data are converted into physical units through multiplication by the calib field located in wfdisc. The correct value of calib may not be accurately known when the wfdisc record is entered into the database. The sensor table provides the mechanism (cal-ratio and calper) to “update” calib, without requiring possibly hundreds of wfdisc records to be updated. Through the foreign key inid, this table is linked to instrument, which has fields pointing to flat files holding detailed calibration information in a variety of for-mats (see instrument).

The wftag table links various identifiers (for example, orid, arid, and stassid to wfid). Linkages can also be determined indirectly using sta, chan, and time. However, it is more efficient to use the wftag table.

X T A G

The xtag table links various identifiers (for example, orid, arid, stassid, and wfid to other identifiers). This table is a generalization of the wftag table, which is limited to linking exclusively to the wfid. The thisdb column describes the database account for the record specified by thisid and thisname; thatdb describes the database account for the record specified by thatid and thatname. When a parent/child relationship exists between the records, thisid should designate the parent, and thatid should designate the child.


Keys: Primary thisid/thisname

TABLE 121: XTAG


1 thisid number(8) thisname identifier

Chapter 3: S / H / I C o l u m n D e s c r i p t i o n s

R A N G E S

Wherever possible, an explicit range is defined for each column. This range is important for data integrity and database management systems that automatically check ranges. When the range consists of a relatively small number of discreet values, the following notation is used:

column ∈ {value-1, value-2, …, value-n}

No range is documented for columns whose value may be any floating point number.

N A VA L U E S

Sometimes no information is available for a column. In that case, an “NA Value” (for Not Available) is assigned. An NA Value is outside the range of permissible or recom-mended values for the column. This special NA Value alerts users and applications that the desired column was not available when the record was created. For example, in the origin table, the column ms (surface wave magnitude) may be unknown for a given row. Then the NA Value for magnitudes (–999.0) should be assigned to ms, and msid should be set to –1, the NA Value for msid. Some columns are essential to defining a meaning-ful record, and they must be specified; the NA Value is not permitted. For example, the column time in arrival must be given a value in the valid range, not an NA Value. Another example is magnitude in netmag and stamag. Magnitude must be given a mean-ingful value for each record, so no NA Value is defined.

Some general guidelines and specific examples of NA Values are given in Table 122. These are only guidelines and NA values may not be unique to a particular column.

An NA Value should not be confused with an ORACLE “NULL.” NA Values are sup-plied by users, while ORACLE inserts the database value “NULL” when no value is specified. A column containing a database value of “NULL” appears blank when selected within SQL*Plus. When creating a table, a column may be constrained as “NOT NULL” to require the user to supply a value. The ORACLE describe command will identify such columns as “NOT NULL.” No correlation is intended between ORA-CLE “NOT NULL” requirements and IDC requirements that a column must be speci-fied.

Name: calratio Table: Sensor Description: Calibration conversion ratio. The value is a dimensionless calibration correc-

tion factor that permits small refinements to the calibration correction made using calib and calper from the Wfdisc (Wfproto) table. Often, the wfdisc calibcontains the nominal calibration assumed at the time of data recording. If the instrument is recalibrated, calratio provides a mechanism to update calibra-tions from wfdisc with the new information without modifying the wfdisctable. A positive value means ground motion increasing in component direc-tion (up, north, east) is indicated by increasing counts. A negative value means the opposite. Calratio is meant to reflect the most accurate calibration information for the time period for which the sensor record is appropriate, but the nominal value may appear until other information is available.

A ‘0’ character indicates the data passed the test, a ‘1’ indicates the data failed the test. Reading from left-to-right, the test indi-cators are ordered as follows: 1. Missing data - ‘1’ indicates that Pn, Sn, Lg signal or noise values are not available for the calculation. 2. Signal-to-noise - ‘1’ indicates that the snr for a given amplitude ratio does not satisfy the input criteria. 3. No distance correction - ‘1’ indicates that there is no distance correction data available to apply to this amplitude ratio (see Attencoef). 4. Exceeds valid range of distance correction - ‘1’ indicates the event is out-side the valid range of applicability for the distance correction given in Atten-coef. 5. No correction grid file - ‘1’ indicates there is no correction grid file pro-vided for the station under consideration. 6. Exceeds valid range of correction grid file - ‘1’ indicates the event is out-side the valid range of the correction grid file provided for the station.

Chapter 4: R a d i o n u c l i d e D a t a b a s e O v e r v i e w

TW O - T I E R D A T A B A S E S C H E M A

A two-tiered database is set up for analysis of IMS radionuclide data. One database is used for automatic analysis of sample data as they arrive. This database is owned by the user RMSAUTO. The second database is used for interactive analysis by the IDC radio-nuclide analysts. This database is owned by the user RMSMAN. A two-tiered database schema is used to preserve both the automatic analysis results and the interactive analy-sis results without one overwriting the other. All of the operations that the automatic pipeline performs effect changes in the RMSAUTO database. All operations that an ana-lyst performs effect changes in the RMSMAN database.

D A T A B A S E O R G A N I Z A T I O N

The radionuclide database tables are conceptually organized into four groups. These groups are described in this section.

R a w D a t a Ta b l e s ( r a w )

Raw data tables are tables that hold the original data received from the reporting stations. The RMSAUTO user owns these tables, but the RMSMAN user has permission to read the tables. RMSMAN creates synonyms for each table to facilitate queries.

S t a t i c D a t a Ta b l e s ( s t a t i c )

The static tables hold data about detectors, stations, and tables used as the default pro-cessing parameters for sample data analysis. The RMSMAN user owns these tables, but the RMSAUTO user has permission to read the tables. RMSAUTO creates synonyms for each table to facilitate queries.

A n a l y s i s D a t a Ta b l e s ( a n a l y s i s )

Analysis tables hold the results of the analysis processing. Both the RMSAUTO and RMSMAN users own versions of these tables. The RMSMAN user is not permitted to make a change to the RMSAUTO analysis data tables, but the RMSAUTO user is per-mitted to make a change to the RMSMAN analysis data tables. Analysis data are com-piled first in RMSAUTO and are moved to RMSMAN by triggers. There are three triggers for each analysis data table; one each for insert, update, and delete. These trig-gers keep the RMSAUTO analysis data tables in sync during automatic analysis. After a record is inserted, updated, or deleted in the RMSAUTO version of these tables, a data-base trigger copies the change to the RMSMAN version of the tables.

I n d e p e n d e n t D a t a Ta b l e s ( i n d y )

Both the RMSAUTO and RMSMAN users own versions of these tables. Unlike the analysis tables, there are no triggers between the two versions of independent tables. These tables are owned by the two users and are unrelated to each other. Independent tables are used to hold the results of tests and analysis performed within the current user’s objects.

Table 123 provides a complete listing of the Release 3 database tables and the group to which each table belongs. The third column indicates whether changes were made since the last release of the software (Release 2.1).

Four objects reside outside the two-tiered database schema, which are of interest to radionuclide processing. These objects are lastid, fileproduct, fpdescription, and msgdisc. These objects are related to incoming message processing and are owned by the IDCX user (see the “S/H/I Table Descriptions” section for details). Synonyms created by the RMSAUTO and RMSMAN users establish a connection to these objects. The IDCX user grants permission to the RMSAUTO and RMSMAN users to allow updates to the objects.

O V E R V I E W

This chapter contains entity-relationship diagrams that illustrate the relationships between database tables for the radionuclide database schema. The table name is always shown at the top of the table. Keys are shown below the table name. The primary key of a table is indicated with a filled symbol. Optional foreign keys are unshaded. Keys con-sisting of multiple columns are shown with a key symbol next to the first column of the key and the remaining columns are listed beneath with no symbols. All column names are shown below the key section in the diagrams. Not all foreign keys are identified.

R A D I O N U C L I D E TA B L E S

Figures 26 through 37 illustrate the relationships among the various tables in the radio-nuclide database. In the following figures, a table is linked by either a single or double arrow. A single arrow indicates that a single record exists in the relationship to the table from where the record came. A double arrow indicates that one or more records exist in the relationship. For example, a single gards_sample_status record exists for each gards_sample_data record. However, multiple gards_nucl_ided records are related to each gards_sample_data record.
