The PDM (Parametric Data Manager) is a DBMS-type software written on Visual C ++ and run under Windows OS. The PDM is the supplementary part of the WinITDB (Windows-based Integrated Tsunami DataBase) package developed at the Novosibirsk Tsunami Laboratory for storage, visulalization and processing of tsunami-related data. The PDM was specially designed for database regional coordinators and data compilers to assist them in the initial data compilation, storage, editing and updating and their further converting into the WinITDB format. The PDM can handle all the basic types of tsunami data and information as parametric (source data, run-up observations, tide measurements) as descriptive (structured text, bibliographical references, digitized images). The PDM consists of the Tsunami Event List Table that displays the list of tsunamigenic events with the condensed set of their source parameters and the Tsunami Event Card that presents the full set of parametric and reference data related to a particular event. In the TELT, every event is shown as a single line of parameters representing the basic set of data on a particular tsunamigenic event. Except the listing and sorting of tsunamigenic events, the TELT allows to make any event retrieval by multiple criteria, sorting and report printing. The TEC provides an access to the full set of data related to a particular event. It consists of several tags containing a particular type of information (source event data, data on damage, run-up heights, textual description of an event, photos, sketches and other graphical images, bibliographical references, map visualization). The important feature of the TEC is the ability to manipulate with the adequately referenced multi-string data related to a single event (source coordinates, magnitudes, estimates of damage) as provided by different agencies.
