In addition to the rather
standard relational database approach to keep duplication of identical data records to a minimum, thesaurus - based technology was developed with the University of Rotterdam to enable the abstraction of «concepts» from text.
Structured Query Language (SQL) is the
standard method used as the programming language for handling and querying data in
relational databases and for performing various operations on the data.
Some key features include: - User friendly graphical interface - Built upon the Tree Ring Data
Standard (TRiDaS)- Import / export support for 22 dendro data formats - Support for standard measuring platforms - Integrated 3D mapping with GPS, WMS, KML and shapefile data import - Barcode - based curation of samples - Relational database server for all data and metadata - Security architecture with fine - grained permission

In addition to its flexible
relational database, other key features of the system include its ease of use; its ability to group information by
standard or custom data sets; and its electronic picture capability, with which stored images referenced in a data set may be displayed.
