Tabular information available to the CSCF is managed by the relational system of database management ORACLE and thus distributed in various inter-connected thematic files.  Information relating to the observations is gathered in a file so called principal (CAPT) connected by numeric or alphanumeric digital codes, with secondary decoding files. With the latter belong the systematic files (ORDERS, FAMILIES, and SPECIES), those identifying the recognised habitats (TYPOLOGY), the sampling procedures (METHODS), the communes (COMMUNES) or observers (LEG) for example. 

The layers of spatial information (digital field model, biogeographic areas, federal inventories, lakes and rivers...) are managed by the system ArcGIS (ESRI).  The link which unites them with the tabular information is ensured by the geographical coordinates associated with the observations of the principal database files.
