The NMPDR is divided into two sections. The cover pages are web pages that serve as a front end for the NMPDR content. These also include the template pages used to format NMPDR data. The database site contains the database and scripts used to retrieve NMPDR content. The cover pages are maintained by the NCSA personnel using Macromedia Dreamweaver. The database site is maintained by FIG personnel using the CVS source control system.
We currently support up to four NMPDR web sites at any given time.
- The Public Site is the version of the NMPDR available for public use. The cover pages for The Public Site are stored on web-3.nmpdr.org. The database site is stored on nmpdr-3.nmpdr.org.
- The Staging Site is generally only available for a few days. It contains a copy of the site that is about to be made public. The cover pages for The Staging Site are stored on web-3.nmpdr.org. The database site is stored on nmpdr-3.nmpdr.org.
- The Mirror Site is a copy of The Public Site used for testing and debugging when a problem is found on The Public Site. The cover pages for The Mirror Site are stored on web-1.nmpdr.org. The database site is stored on nmpdr-1.nmpdr.org.
- The Development Site is the version of the NMPDR currently in development. The cover pages for The Development Site are stored on web-1.nmpdr.org. The database site is stored on nmpdr-1.nmpdr.org.
