Period: 2009-08-01--08-31

Author: Lars Eliasson

1. Progress status

Work has been carried out on the ODI technical note. The TN is undergoing a major revision. A new version will be released in September.

Work has been carried out on SAAPS 2.0 (SAAPS 2.0 uses the ODI database). In the data plotter tool the units are now correctly displayed in the plots.

A tool has been added that is used to delete a selected dataset and its metadata (under tools).

We decided to remove the table "variable_depend" as the all necessary information is available in the tables "variable_metadata" and "variable_attribute". The code will be updated accordingly.
