MemeName (Context), Sybase_Type / F77_fmt / C_fmt, access RW
Alt Name in Units: The attributes displayed here if available are: the Meme name, context, access (read/write/both), datatype, FORTRAN format, C format, and the value's units and legitimate range (if any). A table may also have a FITS EXTNAME. This text is the Semantics.

This is the blank FITS keyword. This can have no associated value; columns 9-80 may contain any ASCII text. Any number of blank card images may appear in a header.

MemesWorld (DataBase), schema / schema / , access

All the tables in the Memes World (the software knowledge base): Memes, MFlowData, RealTime MemesWorld consists of elements:

MemeData (Memes), schema / schema / , access

The group of tables needed to describe memes: Memes, Mbundles, Mmaps. MemeData consists of elements:

Memes (Memes), table / table / , access
metabase.dbo.Memes (EXTNAME = 'Memes')

Table of memes (meaning units); FITS keywords, syntactic subunits of FITS keywords, and database fields are all memes. Memes consists of elements:

mid (DataBase), int / I11 / %d, access

Unique ID of a meme. Many of the memes are FITS keywords, but others are FITS tables, meme bundles, etc.

name (DataBase), char(16) / A16 / %s, access

The name of a Meme (a FITS keyword, database column or table name, FITS HDU name, Map, or any other meme).

alt_name (DataBase), varchar(80) / A80 / %s, access

Mostly for KTL, but could be useful elsewhere; this attribute allows us to establish a lengthier alias for these short and sometimes cryptic 8-char FITS keyword names. Alt use in device bundles: attrib list (colon-sep) used only by CodeGen

context (DataBase), char(16) / A16 / map, access

Arbitrary attribute for grouping memes into related families, such as keywords relevant to an instrument, keywords relevant to a test phase, etc. It also disambiguates keywords with the same name but different meaning or format., e.g. PARANG. Is an instance of mcontext:

mcontext (DataBase), char(16) / A16 / %s, access

Context code; the context code is attached to a meme to distinguish that meme from other memes which might happen to have the same name. See AZ in context HIRES vs AZ in context KECK1DCS, for example. The Mcontexts table defines meme contexts. (see mcontext)

access (DataBase), char(2) / A2 / %s, access

Keyword access can be RW, R, or W (this is mostly useful in the context of KTL, but could be used for database access control as well). Lack of support for monitor and lev2 notify are indicated by the nomonitor and nonotify fields, not this field.
Valid values of access are:

i : KTL readable via FIORD use other input
o : KTL writeable via FIORD use other output
r : KTL readable
w : KTL writeable

syty (DataBase), varchar(40) / A40 / %s, access

If the keyword value is expressed in known units, the units are stored here. IAU standard style is recommended.

semantics (DataBase), varchar(255) / A255 / %s, access

The semantics (meaning and usage) of the entity are stored here. In the case of a meme, this is the meaning of the meme (or keyword); in the case of an enumerated value, it is the meaning of the value.

isa_mid (DataBase), int / I4 / map, access

The MID of a known, canonical, re-usable meme which serves as a typedef for other memes. The purpose of the typedef may be to refer to the same meme by various names with different functions, or to convert/reformat a meme. Is an instance of mid:

tolv (DataBase), float / E20.12 / %.12E, access

Tolerance value: for numeric keywords representing such quantities as stage position, this means the 'close enough' value. An actual value that is within +- tolv of the target value will be accepted as a successful move.

wildcard (DataBase), char(20) / A20 / %s, access

This field documents the value that a portion of a tuple meme should take on if its values is given as a wildcard instead of as an explicit value. The only use so far is for meme 1352. Alt use in Device Bundles: Device base ID.

comment (DataBase), varchar(80) / A80 / %s, access

In a FITS keyword/value record this comment text should appear following the / that follows the value. If the maintainer wishes to attach a very brief comment, which is not part of the semantics, this field is provided for convenient annotation.

uri (DataBase), varchar(255) / A255 / %s, access

If the keyword cannot be documented adequately via semantics and comments, a URI can be attached referring the reader to other online documentation, source code, etc.

startd (DataBase), smalldatetime / A19 / %04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d, access

Beginning date at which the use of this meme in this context is valid. Should apply to bundles, not to normal memes, for the purpose of establishing dated FITS header and KTL service definitions.

endd (DataBase), smalldatetime / A19 / %04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d, access

Pcontexts (MemeFlow), table / table / , access
metabase.dbo.pcontexts (EXTNAME = 'Pcontexts')

Paths have context, that is, they are grouped in drawings. If you use dot-sep context names like DEIMOS.DB.op.out you can make larger and smaller scale drawings of areas of the system. Pcontexts consists of elements:

pcontext (DataBase), char(20) / A20 / %s, access: The pcontext is a means of grouping meme flow paths into 'drawings', as for a particular subsystem or functional area.
title (DataBase), char(40) / A40 / %s, access: The user-defined title of a flow drawing (pcontext). Though the pcontext string is often meaningful, an English language title is also useful.
author (DataBase), varchar(40) / A40 / %s, access: Various MemesWorld items can have authors. Software agents have authors. Meme contexts also (who invented the context?). Path contexts (drawings) also have authors. Although the product is different, the author field always indicates authorship.
descrip (DataBase), varchar(255) / A255 / %s, access: Descrip is a generic text field in which one can add brief descriptive information to an database entity (record). The description is relevant to the table in which the field appears.

KTLconfig (Database), table / table / , access
metabase.dbo.KTLconfig (EXTNAME = 'KTLconfig')

KTL configuration table -- holds attribute/value lists for realtime configuration of devices KTLconfig consists of elements:

kcid (Database), int / I11 / %d, access: UNKNOWN
Atty (Database), int / I11 / %d, access: The Attribute Type, i.e. what KIND of bundle does it belong to: dispatcher, galil, or what. Is really a:
mid (DataBase), int / I11 / %d, access: Unique ID of a meme. Many of the memes are FITS keywords, but others are FITS tables, meme bundles, etc. (see mid)
Device (Database), int / I11 / %d, access: MID of a device bundle Is really a:
mid (DataBase), int / I11 / %d, access: Unique ID of a meme. Many of the memes are FITS keywords, but others are FITS tables, meme bundles, etc. (see mid)
Attribute (DataBase), int / int / int, access: An attribute is a Meme. Therefore the field Attribute is a mid. Is really a:
mid (DataBase), int / I11 / %d, access: Unique ID of a meme. Many of the memes are FITS keywords, but others are FITS tables, meme bundles, etc. (see mid)
AttribVal (DataBase), varchar(100) / varchar(100) / varchar(100), access: Value of an attribute.
uid (DataBase), smallint / I5 / %d, access: (Sybase) ID code of database Key Entry person. This tells us who entered the record in the table. The stamp field tells us when.
stamp (DataBase), smalldatetime / A19 / %04d-%02d-%02dT%02d:%02d:%02d, access: date on which record was entered (or updated) in database
