This site manages information added by registered users. This information can have several formats (Images, videos, text, links, etc...). The way to manage the information is adding categories to the information, and browsing it via these labels. So, we are mixing three things: Users, content and labels.

Registered users, and only these, can add information. There are three types of users, depending on the expertise and knowledge area. We'll explain it in detail here.

The content is the information that can be added to the site. It can adopt several formats (images, database records, keys, articles, etc.) and to make life easier, we have prepared some "Content types" to automatize its load and management. It's really simple to do and quite similar for all of them (won't take you more than five minutes to learn it!).

Each "content type" is managed via labels or "categories". For example, if we add the images for a worker of Camponotus piceus, we need to tell the system that the images added:

• belong to the taxa "Camponotus piceus"
• belong to the section "Worker"

And that's it. The site combines different tools to manage, filter and present this information via maps, summaries, listings, queries, etc.
