Connecting geo-information with the database < Filing system > Taxonomic authority files and links to other databases

3.6 — Filing system

Besides geo-data, there re a variety of other data which are stored outside the database, such as full-text documents, pictures and additional software tools. All folders are all organised according to major taxonomic groups. For standard applications, files are opened by launching a web browser or the respective software directly from the user interface. However, more advanced users might want to export files to other applications, or view them directly without opening the database. GIS files in particular can be intersected with other GIS data, e.g. on land use or vegetation.
