Shortnames in the BED-DB

Shortnames V1.0 | 13.08.2021 

The length of column names is limited in the SQL database on which the BED-DB is based for technical reasons. The BED element names are therefore replaced by so-called short names in the BED-DB. These short names also remain the names of the columns in the exported tables when the data is exported. The table provides an overview of the BED element names and the associated short names.
