File metadata are stored in a text file with the same name as the target file.

Database metadata are stored in table descriptions or in appropriately labeled metadata fields.

1.3.8 Report

Any data or information in a format designed for human communication, where file format is not tabular but comprised of conceptual narrative, formatted tables, or static visualizations, and the contained data is either static or requires conversion to other file formats or manual cleaning or entry for aggregation, processing and analysis by machines.

SECTION 01 31 20 Page 3

1.3.9 Schema

Also referred to as "database schema", it is the logical structure of the of the database. Schema consists of the following database elements:

(1) Table definitions and names;

(2) Field names;

(3) Field definitions;

(4) Field types (constraints), including precision and units for numeric fields;

(5) Primary and Foreign Keys (to determine table relationships);

(6) Field default values;

(7) Domains;

(8) Calculated fields and the calculations and equations to produce values that populate them;

(9) Selected database views required to produce values displayed in the web interface, used to derive reports, for ongoing CAD/GIS feature generation, or as requested by the COR.

1.3.10 Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)

Also SSH File Transfer Protocol, a networked protocol to handle file transfers between computers over the internet. It provides file transfer, access and management over a secure connection communicating on server data port 22. This should not be confused with similarly-named "Simple File Transfer Protocol" which operates on server data port 115, and does not meet the requirements of an SFTP site for the purpose of this contract.

1.3.11 Tabular Data

Any structured or semi-structured numerical or qualitative facts in a character-limited field and record format. Suitable for processing by machines with minimal human interpretation, cleaning or processing, and in a file format suitable for importing into a database software program without any structural changes to the file.

1.3.12 Tag

A keyword or term applied to a computer file that is stored in the file metadata that can aid in searching for that file or document. Most commonly used with files such as imagery to aid in computer-based searching.
