[Therion] Data Management

[Martin Sluka]

Therion work strictly in name-spaces. It means it has to know the path to any object you want it should use.

My way is to input .th2 file to same level or trip survey-endsurvey. The same with definition of base map of that piece of cave. Main advantage is I don't need to edit station names in scraps later.

In higher levels I just input particular .th file. When defining higher level maps I call scraps with path to base level survey.

cave_1.th:
survey survey_1
centerline
...
endcenterline
input cave_1.th2
map survey_1.map
   survey_1_scrap_1
   survey_1_scrap_2
   survey_1_scrap_3
endmap
endsurvey

cave_2.th:
survey survey_2
centerline
...
endcenterline
input cave_2.th2
map survey_2.map
   survey_2_scrap_1
   survey_2_scrap_2
endmap
endsurvey

cave_1+2.th:
survey survey_1+2
input cave_1.th
input cave_2.th

map survey_1+2_from_maps.map
   survey_1.map at survey_1
   survey_2.map at survey_2
endmap

map survey_1+2_from_scraps.map
   survey_1_scrap_1 at survey_1
   survey_1_scrap_2 at survey_1
   survey_1_scrap_3 at survey_1
   survey_2_scrap_1 at survey_1
   survey_2_scrap_2 at survey_1
endmap

map survey_1+2_only_two_scraps.map
    survey_1_scrap_1 at survey_1
    survey_2_scrap_2 at survey_1
endmap
endsurvey

etc.

Next plan of attack was to look at other people’s data in the Cave Registry Data Archive which helped and I now see how the .th and config files should look but I am still missing something some where.

Also I have a deadline looming on some of these maps and I’m now getting a bit worried I will not make it.
