OCTOPUS Database v.2: Database field description tables

This document includes field description tables for data hosted in the OCTOPUS v.2 database.

OCTOPUS v.2 is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web-enabled database that allows users to visualise, query, and download cosmogenic ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al, luminescence, and radiocarbon ages and denudation rates associated with erosional landscapes, Quaternary depositional landforms and archaeological records, along with associated geospatial (vector and raster) data layers. The database follows the FAIR data principles and is based on open-source software deployed on Google Cloud Platform. Data stored in the database can be visualised, queried, and downloaded via a custom-built web interface and via desktop GIS applications that support OGC data access protocols. OCTOPUS can export data to various formats directly, including GML, JSON, Google Earth KLM and KMZ, and ESRI shapefile.
