in the case of any future refinements of the classification scheme. A number of requirements of
the development of the database had to be considered:
➜ Storage of all data associated with the classification, including community descriptions,
site environmental information, floristics and diagnostic information, and information on
equivalencies with other, relevant classification schemes.
➜ Presentation of key information and graphics relating to each community in the form of
profile reports which were dynamically linked to the underlying data.
➜ Storage and maintenance of spatial data associated with each community for future
mapping and / or modelling work.
➜ Ability to link to existing database elements, such as the floritics data and sites tables in
YETI (Bedward et al. 2007), the CAPS codes database and the HCLNC Flora List Database
(in development) maintained outside of the database.
➜ Ability to link to associated graphics (distribution maps, community-type photographs,
botanical illustrations) also stored outside of the database to minimise size.
➜ Ability to be expanded to include data generated through the mapping process, such as
extant areas and areas in conservation reserves, etc.
