NHIMS Design document for the Northwest Hydrologic Information Management System (NHIMS); Appendix. Research technical completion report, 14-08-0001-G1222-32 Item Info

A data management system called the Hydrologic Information Storage And Retrieval System (HISARS) is used at the University of Idaho to provide various individuals and organizations with easy access to climatic and hydrologic information. However, HISARS is now over ten years old, and due to its age and original design, the system is no longer easily updated, and it is difficult to modify the program code. In order to take advantage of more modern computer systems and more sophisticated software, it was decided to replace HISARS with a SAS based data management system called the Northwest Hydrologic Information Management System (NHIMS). The objective of the NHIMS project is to create a data management system that is easy to use, maintain and modify, and at the same time simulates the actions of the existing HISARS system as much as possible. [...] The purpose of this document is to describe in detail the design of the NHIMS system. All components of the system will be covered: the general and detailed structure of he system, the program modules, the permanent NHIMS files, global data, and provisions for testing and packaging the system.
