Sample domain values are only samples
Data is not intended to be viewed as a standard
Data is not linked to any level of “PODS Compliance”
Domains are only intended as a sample of what other operators and
vendors are using as domains
Domains will be available as an Access database, packaged with future
PODS releases
Domains were compiled on a PODS 5.x database
Domains are available on Wiki-PODS
Domains webinar is also available for download
2011 Goals
 PODS Sample Database
 Working, sample database
 Sample database would include several small routes with several
attribute tables populated
 Will give new members a reference to how PODS is implemented
 Will be available as an Access download from Wiki-PODS
