evid 
Base Entity  event 
Attribute Name  evid 
Logical Rolename  evid 
ColumnName  evid 
RoleName  evid 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  orid 
Logical Rolename  orid 
ColumnName  prefor 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  magid 
Logical Rolename  magid 
ColumnName  prefmag 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  mecid 
Logical Rolename  mecid 
ColumnName  prefmec 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  commid 
Logical Rolename  commid 
ColumnName  commid 
RoleName  commid 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  auth 
Logical Rolename  auth 
ColumnName  auth 
RoleName  auth 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  subsource 
Logical Rolename  subsource 
ColumnName  subsource 
RoleName  subsource 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  etype 
Logical Rolename  etype 
ColumnName  etype 
RoleName  etype 
Definition  This attribute is used to identify the type of seismic event, when known 
Note  Range: etype = {le | re | ts | qb | nt | uk | sn | st} le = local event re = regional event ts = teleseism qb = quarry blast nt = nuclear test uk = unknown event sn = sonic blast st = subnet trigger  

selectflag 
Base Entity  event 
Attribute Name  selectflag 
Logical Rolename  selectflag 
ColumnName  selectflag 
RoleName  selectflag 
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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  lddate 
Logical Rolename  lddate 
ColumnName  lddate 
RoleName  lddate 
Definition  Load date. Date and time that the record was created or last modified, 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 Entity  event 
Attribute Name  version 
Logical Rolename  version 
ColumnName  version 
RoleName  version 
Definition  Event version number. This attribute is incremented each time the preferred origin, magnitude or mechanism of the event is updated 
Note  Range: version >= 0
