Name	Schema Table	Database	Description	Type	Length	Unit	Default Value	Unified Content Descriptor
variabilityTable	[nspid]Programme	WSA NonSurvey	Table name of merged variable sources	varchar	64			??
variableClass	[nspid]QsoMapVariability, [nspid]Variability	WSA NonSurvey	Classification of objects across all bands.	int	4		-99999999
			This gives an overall classification. Currently the weighted intrinsicRMS/expectedRMS (wsrms) is calculated across all bands, where the weighting is directly proportional to the number of good observations in each band, where any bands with <5 observations have w=0 and the band with the most observations has a weighting of 1. If wsrms>3, then variableClass=1 (i.e. the source is variable), else variableClass=0. In the future, the classification will take into account other statistics, such as correlations between bands and will also include motion and skew, and will not be limited to 0 or 1.

			For deep stacks and mosaics produced in Edinburgh, (frameType=deep%stack, fileName=eYYYYMMDD_%) this refers to the database release number. For all other files, the versNum refers to the CASU pipeline version number.
