Different information is associated with each document. Let's start by discovering them:

* The type: this is a way of grouping together documents that have common characteristics. When you want to save a new document you must start by choosing the type, which will then give you access to the information that you will be able to enter for this particular type of document. In Grottocenter we have retained the types defined in [https://ontology.uis-speleo.org/ontology/#DocumentType Karstlink]

* The name of the document

* The language of the document. In Grottocenter you can choose from just over 250 languages, which are official languages ​​in at least one country. To simplify input, Grottocenter will suggest the language you use for Grottocenter by default.

* The summary: it plays an essential role in enabling this document to be found using the search tool. Please write it in the form of sentences containing the key words of the document (name of place, person, cave).

* The parent document: for Number type documents, it is desirable to indicate the Collection to which it belongs (For example, n° 65 se Spelunca is part of the Spelunca collection). In the same way for an article it is important to indicate the Number from which it is extracted (For example the editorial was in number 65 of Spelunca). These links are essential because the collection page gives access to all the issues and the page of each issue allows you to see the articles from which they come.

'''In order to simplify access to information and allow easier maintenance, we will avoid creating an organization for a sub-group that does not have contact details separate from the organization to which this sub-group belongs. For example, we will keep the French Speleology Federation organization up to date and we will associate all the documents with it, when they are produced by a commission of the FFS'''
