If the cave is big enough, and after an initial survey, we will apply to the Austrians for an official number. These are usually batched up and requested over the winter after the expedition. When we receive the official "kataster" number, we edit our records. E.g. Homecoming had to be renamed from 2018-dm-07 to 1626-356. +

As Becka has been so industrious, we will be having a lot of caves with new kataster numbers quite soon. So many that it is worth investing some effort in some software tooling to make this easier. +

See kataster/1623-2023-mg-03 or + /kataster/1623-2015-dl-02 + for our current working example of a webpage which does the diagnosis and creates a bash script to do the edits and file renaming. Note that it is worth doing some tidying before creating and running the script: in the case of 1623-2015-dl-02 this would mean renaming gmh.svx as a more standardised 2015-dl-02.svx . +
