[db-wg] Revised RIPE Database Documentation on www.ripe.net

Dear colleagues,

Earlier this year, the RIPE NCC announced our intentions to revise the RIPE Database documentation, as requested by the community at RIPE Meetings:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/fatemah_mafi/revising-the-ripe-database-documentation

The first batch of new documentation pages are available online:
https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/support/ripe-database-documentation

These pages replace the contents of the RIPE Database Update Reference Manual, which has now been removed fromwww.ripe.net, and include the contents of several other database-related webpages.

We will publish further documentation pages, replacing the RIPE Database Query Reference Manual, before RIPE 69 in London, 3-7 November 2014.

Features of this new documentation include:
- A glossary of commonly-used terms shown throughout the documentation marked by dots (...) underneath. Mousing over these words will show the corresponding glossary entry. Alternatively, you can browse the glossary for a list of words and phrases and their definitions.
- An export feature so that you can export the entire contents of the documentation to a .pdf for printing.

We invite feedback from the community about the new documentation, which will be revised with each release of the RIPE Database software. Please reply toripe-dbm at ripe.net  or provide your feedback on the RIPE Database Working Group mailing list.

Regards,

Denis Walker
RIPE NCC
