Abstract:
Fire Data Management System, FDMS, is a design for a
computer database to store and retrieve fire test
results obtained from bench-scale and real-scale tests
as well as fire simulation programs. By storing
available fire test values in a common format, this data
is readily available and easily exchanged. This guide
provides detailed descriptions of the physical data
structures for the next generation of the database, FDMS
2.0.
