Talk:Site

The future of the Site table is in discussion:

In the beginning the Site table has been used mostly for the labeling systems of GIK (Kiel), PS (AWI) and DSDP/ODP. Due to the fact that data are also provided as compiled sets for one site, the ODP Sites had also to be defined in the Event table in addition to the Hole labels. In the mean time the Site table is useless for all labeling system and thus may be deleted in the future. Also in the import-form for events, the columns with site information have been removed and thus site data will not be imported anymore.

Removed from the site before redirect to Event
The SITE table optionaly allows to group Events within a Campaign. (e.g. a research vessel stops at a Site to carry out different investigations=events). Double click on an entry in the site table will show its metadata and a list of all related events.
