MMS Database

The MMS database comperises a meta-model that describes the schema of all possible MMS input formats. It may be of advantage to store all input data in the database, but still keep the original input files in a file archive. It is of greatest importance that the data model supports versioning of files and adding new fields in the future.

Inital tables (we have discussed so far):

Concidence – Stores multi-sensor matchup records. May be normalised later on.
Dictionary – Describes all columns known by the system. Maps also different names to a standard name.
Schema – Describes various input formats in terms of their columns that they provide.
