Interactive Database Input (and inspection)

Setting up the Memes database requires that all of the basic units of information be entered into the database. The relationships between various keywords are also modelled, and the agents which act upon the flows of memes must be defined. Several different interactive forms are used to input all these data.

All information is constructed from the basic unit of a meme. This is the input form. The heritage from the original FITS keyword concept is plainly evident. The meme database is normalized so that other meme attributes are stored by references to other tables. The normalization is still evolving.
