Help for Space@Penn Queries

Overview. Space@Penn data can be complex, and a listserv and adhoc meetings are available to help you query the Warehouse and retrieve Space@Penn data efficiently and effectively.

Glossary
An elementary glossary of terms used throughout the collection is available, but is not by any means complete. If you have any suggestions for corrections or additions to this glossary, please email the listserv.

A guideline to the assignment of program and function codes is available here: Space@Penn Web Updater help.

Subscription to the listserv. When you are granted access to the Space@Penn data in the Warehouse, a subscription is automatically set up for you to participate in an E-mail listserv called SPACE-WH@LISTS.UPENN.EDU. (Those with subscriptions to the list are called list members. If any member sends an E-mail note to the list, every member of the list receives a copy.)

When you have a question. If you have a question about the Space@Penn data, please send E-mail to the list -- and if you have the answer to a list member's question, please E-mail your reply to the list so all the members can benefit from the discussion.

The list is also the place to send E-mail if you notice that some documentation needs updating. For documentation published on the Web, please specify the URL for the documentation that needs to be updated. For Business Objects documentation (help for Objects), please specify the Universe, Class, and Object.

Notification about general and special meetings.From time to time, notes are sent to the list to invite list members to general meetings to discuss the Space@Penn data in the Warehouse, or to special interest group meetings to discuss specific issues, such as developing additions to the collection or linking Space@Penn data to other data collections.
