evid

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | evid
ColumnName | evid
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | Event identifier. Each event is assigned a unique integer which identifies it in a database. It is possible for several records in the Origin relation to have the same evid. This indicates there are several opinions about the location of the event. The evid does not have to be identical to the local network’s event identifier, which is stored in the Origin table. This allows merging data for a single event from multiple sources without insisting that database evid is identical to the source’s local event identifier
Note |
    Range:	            evid > 0

prefor

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | orid
ColumnName | prefor
Logical Rolename |
RoleName | prefor
Definition | Preferred origin. This attribute holds the origin identifier, orid, that points to the preferred origin for a seismic event
Note |
    Range:             prefor > 0

prefmag

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | magid
ColumnName | prefmag
Logical Rolename |
RoleName | prefmag
Definition | Preferred magnitude. This attribute holds the magnitude identifier, magid, that points to the preferred magnitude for a seismic event or an origin
Note |
    Range:             prefmag > 0

prefmec

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | mecid
ColumnName | prefmec
Logical Rolename |
RoleName | prefmec
Definition | Preferred mechanism. This attribute holds the mechanism identifier, mecid, that points to the preferred mechanism for a seismic event or an origin
Note |
    Range:             prefmec > 0

commid

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | commid
ColumnName | commid
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | Comment identification. This is a key used to point to free-form comments entered in the Remark relation. These comments store additional information about a tuple in another relation. Within the Remark relation, there may be many tuples with the same commid and different lineno, but the same commid will appear in only one other tuple among the rest of the relations in the database
Note |
    Range:             commid > 0

auth

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | auth
ColumnName | auth
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | The auth field specifies the source of the information. This may be a network identifier (FDSN or otherwise), or any other string indicating the source of the information in the record
Note |
    Range:            Any free-format string up to 15 characters

subsource

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | subsource
ColumnName | subsource
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | A second identifier to specify the system or process that derived the data. e.g., the origin's AUTH is CI, but the subsource (the solution) was computed by JIGGLE
Note |
    Range:             Any free-format string up to 8 characters

etype

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | etype
ColumnName | etype
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | This attribute is used to identify the type of seismic event, when known
Note |
    Range:		etype = {le | re | ts | se | lp | to | tr | vt | nt | qb | ce | ex | sh | sn | th | ve | co | df | av | ls | rb | rs | bc | pc | mi | st | uk | ot | lf | su | px}
    		le = local earthquake
    		re = regional earthquake
    		ts = teleseismic eartquake
    		se = slow earthquake
    		lp = long period volcanic earthquake
    		to = tornillo wavelet
    		tr = non-volcanic tremor
    		vt = volcanic tremor
    		nt = nuclear test
    		qb = quarry blast
    		ce = calibration
    		ex = generic chemical blast
    		sh = refraction/reflection survey shot
    		sn = sonic shockwave
    		th = thunder
    		ve = volcanic eruption
    		co = mine/tunnel collapse
    		df = debris flow/avalanche
    		av = snow/ice avalanche
    		ls =  landslide
    		rb = rockburst
    		rs = rockslide
    		bc = building collapse/demolition
    		pc = plane crash
    		mi = meteor/comet impact
    		st = subnet trigger
    		uk = unknown type
    		ot = other miscellaneous
    		lf = low frequency
    		su = surface event
    		px = probable blast

selectflag

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | selectflag
ColumnName | selectflag
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | This flag describes the “definitive” definition of an event. Helps to differentiate which event to use from two different real-time systems
Note |
    Range:		rflag = {0 | 1}
    		0 = false
    		1 = true

lddate

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | lddate
ColumnName | lddate
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | Load date. Date and time that the record was created, in Oracle date datatype
Note |
    Range:		Any valid date between January 01, 4712 BC and January 01, 4712 AD

    Units:		 YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS

version

Base Table | event
Attribute Name | version
ColumnName | version
Logical Rolename |
RoleName |
Definition | Event version number. This attribute is incremented each time the preferred origin, magnitude or mechanism of the event is updated
