How are data recorded in Litmus Production Record Database
Litmus Production Record Database records event and tag data making use of an EAV (Entity-Attribute-Value) model for databases.
This means, that the data are recorded in distributed tables, which are linked together through the use of ID columns which serve as index as well.
While Litmus Production Record Database makes internally use of these ID's, they are hard to work with for users, as humans typically communicate by describing an event or situation.
Therefore Litmus Production Record Database makes use of similar concepts by adding a "descriptive" layer or identifiers above the data to allow users to identify the event or the data they are interested in. As each set of data:
- Production event Records
- Tag Process and Meta Data
has some unique requirements because of the type of data they store, the identifiers they use are specific to the way users are expected to interact with them.
