e. Thematic index. The DCW implements a thematic index for
each point, line, area, and text feature table using the
TILE_ID column. These indices are contained within
files having either a: PTI (Point Thematic Index), LTI
(Line Thematic Index), ATI (Area Thematic Index) or TTI
(Text Thematic Index).
The VPF thematic index (TABLE 39) is a sequential file
of data partitioned into three groups:
(1)
A fixed-length header of 60 bytes that specifies
the associated feature table and the column within
that table being indexed.
(2)
A directory consisting of a repeating number of
records identifies the location of the rows within
the subsequent data list.
(3)
One data record for each index entry consisting of
row IDs from the table that is indexed.
