                    INDEX Directory Contents

The index directory contains tabular index files, accompanied by detached 
PDS labels, intended for use in data management systems.  The following files 
are found in this directory.

indxinfo.txt:     The file you are reading.

img_index.lbl:    Detached PDS label for img_index.tab.

img_index.tab:    Index keyword table for processed tile images.

img_cumindex.lbl: Detached PDS label for img_cumindex.tab.

img_cumindex.tab: Cumulative index keyword table for processed tile images.

map_index.lbl:    Detached PDS label for map_index.tab.

map_index.tab:    Index keyword table for cartographic maps sheet files.

map_cumindex.lbl: Detached PDS label for map_index.tab.

                  sheet files.




              Notes on Using the Index 

The index tables in this directory contains one row (record) for 
each image or map product on this Cassini ISS Cartographic Map Volume.

The columns in this table are keywords related to each image or map.  For
example:

  TARGET_NAME
  DATA_SET_ID
  CENTER_LATITUDE
  CENTER_LONGITUDE
  MAXIMUM_LATITUDE
  WESTERNMOST_LONGITUDE
  etc.

The table is formatted so that it can be read directly into many database 
systems.  All fields are separated by commas, and character fields are 
enclosed in double quotation marks ("). Character fields are left justified 
and numeric fields are right justified.  

Each record ends with ASCII carriage return and line feed characters.  This 
allows the table to be treated as a fixed length record file on computers 
that support this file type and as a normal text file on other computers.

The index.lbl file is a PDS label file that describes the content and 
structure of the fields in the index table, including field name, format, 
and description.  

The values for start byte and number of bytes listed in the label file do 
not include commas between fields or quotation marks surrounding character 
fields.
