This section of GBHDB contains development versions of G_DATA, which is the core statistical data table which drives statistical mapping and graphing in the web site A Vision of Britain through Time, plus the tables comprising the Data Documentation System, which records the meaning of statistical data. These tables can be modified and rebuilt without affecting the operation of the public web site. NB this version of the data table links only to other tables within GBHDB and to the AUO, not to the production 'hgis' schema.
