Database Tables and Fields
The Nymology database Nymbase contains the following tables and fields. All fields are text strings except foreign keys, count fields (integer) and z (float).
Common Tables share a set of Common Fields and only list their extra fields. Special Tables only have the fields listed.
Common Tables
COMMON FIELDS:
name = entry word/concept
by = user (foreign key)
src = original source
url = info link
area = field of study
z = generality (0.0-1.0)
TERMS
| Quad | Poly | |
|---|---|---|
| length | Q count | P count |
| width | substitution count | element count |
| depth | max depth |
Phrase:
qode = single-Q template
subs = NEROS-string
width = substitution count
realm = domains
Fable:
qode = multi-Q template
length = quadranym count
width = substitution count
subs = NEROS-string
realm = domains
Quadranym:
pos = part-of-speech
realm = domains
e = expansion
r = reduction
o = objective
s = subjective
epos = expansion POS
rpos = reduction POS
opos = objective POS
spos = subjective POS
Polynym:
mode = part/step/type
depth = nym count
nness = average depth-ness score
p1 - p12 = nyms
Story:
phrases = names (CSV)
quadranyms = names (CSV)
length = pair count
realm = domains
Tale:
fable = fable (foreign key)
quadranyms = names (CSV)
length = quadranym count
Polymap:
pa = polynym A (foreign key)
pb = polynym B (foreign key)
r1 - r12 = element-to-element relationship
Vectornym:
length = polynym count
width = element count
depth = max polynym width
realm = domains
v1 - v9 = polynyms 1-9 (foreign keys)
Polyset
polynyms = foreign keys (many-to-many)
length = polynym count
depth = max polynym depth
width = element count
Quadraset
quadranyms = foreign keys (many-to-many)
length = quadranym count
Special Tables
Fortune:
body = original text
qode = enqoded text
q1 = Q matches 1 sub
q2 = Q matches 2+ subs
subs = NEROS-string
depth = substitution count
Winner:
by = user (foreign key)
app = game played
round = rounds played
score = high score
Nness
score = N-ness score
polynym = foreign key
user = foreign key
