Debriefed Observer Data Interface

Status of stocks authors require a longitudinal view of North Pacific observer data in format that is consistent accross time. The observer interfact (OBSINT) schema was created to provide this service. Whenever an observer cruise has its debriefed property set to yes 'Y', those data are transformed from the current data model into the legacy "Domestic" data set and loaded/updated into the Observer Interface table set. This is a data event and temoral driven process, relying on database triggers and batch executables.

These data are the combined data from the beginning of domestic observer coverage to the present.

Since this layer presents data at less granularity and in a less normalized form, some redundancy exists as compared to the raw data (See NORPAC)
