Welcome to The AFL Radiocarbon Dataset Mapping by spreadsheet section of this web page

This folder contains information pertaining to the ongoing mapping of the AFL Radiocarbon data set to the SEAD database structure.

This section documents the process of mapping a dataset to the SEAD database structure prior to importing the data, using an example dataset, in the form of a spreadsheet called radiocarbon_Glykou_etal_2021_input.xlsx. This folder contains one file for each of the columns in the first tab of that spreadsheet (a1_radiocarbon_data tab).

Each of these files contain the notes from the process of doing the data mapping to a spreadsheet, which would later be used to import the data into SEAD. However, before this process was complete the new SEAD Shape Shifter tool for data mapping and ingesting to SEAD was developed, and thus the mapping work has been switched to the new folder to track progress of the dataset mapping using that tool.

Three are three ways navigate the mapping:you can approach it from The mapped SEAD tables used for this dataset, via The columns of this dataset, or through the interactive graph. To access the graph-view, click on any of the files from these two menus and then click on the “expand” symbol in the upper right hand corner of the Graph.View. You can then drag nodes to activate labels and reveal the mapping, or click on a node to read more about that node.

The columns of this dataset

Below is the list of all of the columns appearing in this data set. Clicking on a column name from the list below will show you how it is mapped to the SEAD database structure.
