Each of these descriptors is mapped into one column of a table that is called the Observation Summary Table (OST), and the corresponding information for a given input file is stored into one of its rows. <P> <BR><HR> <!--Table of Child-Links--> <A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"> </A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html6117" HREF="node375.html">Mapping of FITS keywords into MIDAS descriptors</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html6118" HREF="node376.html">The Descriptor Table</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html6119" HREF="node377.html">Creating The Observation Summary Table</A> </UL> <!--End of Table of Child-Links--> <BR><HR> <ADDRESS> <I>Petra Nass</I> <BR><I>1999-06-15</I> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
