Intern:Import

Import of data in brief - this page is under construction !

First column:

Event label in header, followed by the label as defined in the event table. (One event per data set ! A table containing several events can be seperated with the tool Split2Events).

Second and/or third column may contain the third spatial dimension or the time (see geocode).

Each of the following column should contain in the header line


 * the parameters full name as defined in PANGAEAs parameter table or
 * the parameters short name or
 * the parameter ID

Ambiguous parameters can be made unique with the unit in brackets attached.

If no reference for certain data sets is given (and not to be expected), use the field Source to define the source of the data. Source is relational to the institution table (press Choices).

During import, you can set the ID for a new data set. Old data sets can be replaced by new versions, means: after having opened the import file, 4D now allows to choose an existing data set which will be replaced or the set a non existing ID, if the new file is imported.
