14. www.naoc.org Technology Committee Naming Conventions for Advanced EMI Measurements  Problem Statement: “Tracking of anomalies from detection to resolution (intrusive investigation or a ‘no dig’ decision) to archiving is critical to the QA/QC process and ultimate goals of any munitions remediation effort. To facilitate this anomaly tracking, seamless integration of anomaly identifiers (which may include grid numbers, transect numbers, initial acquisition file pointers etc.) into the advanced analysis workflow is required. Without this integration the advanced analysis process will be subject to unneeded complexity and errors associated with having to deal with multiple naming conventions.”  There is no industry wide anomaly naming convention and the goal of this is not to develop one but to generate a file naming convention and header structure that will accommodate the variety of naming methods. 14

17. www.naoc.org Technology Committee Global Leader in Munitions Response Advanced EMI Measurement Nomenclature PREPARED FOR: John Allan COPY TO: Dean Keiswetter Alison Paski Robert Siegel Brian Junk PREPARED BY: David Wright/BOS DATE: November 6, 2013 A volunteer task force was assembled to discuss and recommend naming conventions for advanced EMI measurements and files such that they will fit into the processes used by NAOC member companies. The members of this task force include David Wright (CH2M HILL), Alison Paski (NAEVA Geophysics Inc.), Dean Keiswetter (Science Applications International Corporation), Robert Siegel (Science Applications International Corporation) and Brian Junk (Weston Solutions) The problem was stated as follows: Tracking of anomalies from detection to resolution (intrusive investigation or a ‘no dig’ decision) to archiving is critical to the QA/QC process and ultimate goals of any munitions remediation effort. To facilitate this anomaly tracking, seamless integration of anomaly identifiers (which may included grid numbers, transect numbers, initial acquisition file pointers etc) into the advanced analysis workflow is required. Without this integration the advanced analysis process will be subject to unneeded complexity and errors associated with having to deal with multiple naming conventions. 17

18. www.naoc.org Technology Committee After defining the problem, the group had an initial meeting and identified the following requirements: o The capability to add (1) two prefixes (both strings) and a (2) data type (string) at acquisition, which would then be stored in the HDF5 header tags. o The intent is that one of the prefix strings would be attached to the target ID (a number) to make the combined string unique. This prefix would enable users, perhaps, to record the grid ID (alphanumeric) or transect ID. The second prefix should pass through to the data analysis soft- ware and be stored with the data, but it would not be attached to the target ID. This might serve to store the AOC or Site name, perhaps. o The ‘data type’ entry refers to limited number of labels, to include at a minimum ‘blind’, ‘IVS’, ‘test’, and ‘background’. The data type should be stored in the HDF5 tag as well as the filename somehow (perhaps abbreviated...). At a subsequent meeting between representatives from the ESTCP program office (Herb Nelson); advanced analysis software developers (Dean Keiswetter, SAIC), industry service providers (David Wright, CH2M HILL) and equipment manufacturers (Bart Hoekstra, Geometrics) this subject was dis- cussed and the following naming convention was proposed: “ProjectPrefix_TargetID_type_vers” Where: Project Prefix: any alphanumeric characters used to describe the project (e.g. Ft Rucker). This set of characters will be kept as a reference in the database, but will not necessarily be attached to every target identifier. 18

19. www.naoc.org Technology Committee Target ID is comprised of a GeoID and Target###: GeoID = any set of alphanumeric characters used to identify the geophysical unit that the measurement was made in (e.g. grid, survey, or transect). This set of characters will form part of the unique TargetID Target## = a numeric identifier specific to the target for static collection or survey unit (e.g. sortie number) for dynamic collection. The combination of GeoID and Target## is a number that should be unique to the project (or installation) Type – identifies one of 7 specific measurement types Version – identifies the measurement version associated with the Target ID Proposed Format: PPPPP_[GGGG_TTTTT]_YY_VV where: PPPPP = Project name (alphanumeric) Square brackets indicate TargetID: GGGG = Geophysical unit (alphanumeric) TTTTT = numeric (integer) YY = measurement type (2 characters*) VV = version numeric (integer) 19
