Abstract:
|
An important facet of the Galveston Bay Project (GBP) has been the development of a Data Management System (DMS) which serves as the data storage and distribution mechanism for the many GBP participants. The purpose of this document is to acquaint the potential user of the DMS with the present capabilities of the system in sufficient detail that he might formulate his own particular retrieval requests. The system is designed such that the user may add routines to perform operations not presently included. Section 2.0 is a description of the general system and Section 3.0 contains some important definitions. Section 4.0 discusses the operations of the DMS with descriptions of the programs given in Section 5.0. Section 6.0 gives the deck structures. Appendix A is a listing of the programs, Appendix B presents the special subroutines called and Appendix C presents example data listings. |
