Edit Cave - {{cave.official_name|safe}} {{cave.reference}}

The fields on this form, two of which are vital, are documented explicitly on the page cave entry fields and these same fields appear in the alternative file upload process as described in new cave file.

As it says there, "There are a lot of fields on the 'new/edit cave' page and the 'new/edit entrance' page and some of them are a quite mysterious. This page explains what they mean." {% else %}

New Cave Creation

WARNING

This form is the SIXTH step in the expo online cave recording system.

The whole process starts at step ONE here: Great, I have discovered a new cave....

But even if you are happy and confident that you have understood steps 1 to 5, please go through the recommended procedure of editing an existing cave entry first, before trying to create a totally new one. This is described under the section "Recommended procedure" on the page CaveEntry especially sub-heading "Edit Cave form" and please go through the example edit process for caves Plateauhöhle 171 and Plateauhöhle 172, as described there.

If you have not done all the preceeding steps, cancel this form and go back and do them now. Click here.

This form contains many esoteric and non-obvious data requirements, which will give you a frustrating time if you try to persist without being familiar with how all the bits fit together.

Kataster code

This is the 'length-or-depth/type exploration' code used in the Austrian kataster, e.g '1/S +' means "more than 10 but less than 50m long or deep, with a pitch, completely explored". The number is:
0 - length or depth unknown
1 - 10 to 50m
2 - 50 to 500m
3 - 500m to 5km
    T   Trockenhöhlen (Dry caves)
    W   Wasserhöhlen (Caves with water)
   (W)  Zeitweilig aktiv Wasserhöhlen (Caves with seasonal water)
    E   Eishohlen (Caves with ice formations)
    S   Schachthöhlen (Caves with pitches)
    H   Halbhöhlen (Rock shelters ?)

    -   unerforscht (unexplored)
    =   befahren (visited)
    ×   teilweise vermessen (partly surveyed)
    +   erforscht (exploration considered complete)
