The central project database of <span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="VA">VA</span> (= <span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="VA">VA</span> module <span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="VA">VA</span>_<span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="DB">DB</span>) is a relational database managed using the database management system (<span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="DBMS">DBMS</span>) MySQL. In purely physical terms, this database, which is subject to regular versioning, is one of a large number of other project databases located on the MySQL cluster of the <span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="LMU">LMU</span>'s Center for Digital Humanities (<span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="ITG">ITG</span>). This system is designed to be highly accessible and redundant. Regular backups of the databases are made on this cluster and transferred to the file servers of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (<a href="https://www.lrz.de/" target="_BLANK">LRZ </a>).<br>
<br>
The <span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="VA">VA</span> MySQL database is very complex. It currently (May 2020) consists of 156 tables with a total of 1.6 GB of data. A detailed description of the content and function of each of these tables is stored in the <span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="VA">VA</span> module <span class="vaabr" data-vaabr="VA">VA</span>_WEB (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5282/verba-alpina?urlappend=%2F%3Fpage_id%3D1794%26db%3D232">Link</a>).
