|
<title>Introduction</title>
|
|
<para> The <application>&app;</application> is a genealogical
|
|
application. <application>&app;</application> is an acronym for the
|
|
Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System. To put
|
|
it shortly, it allows you to store, edit, and research genealogical data
|
|
using your computer. Its functionality is somewhat common to other
|
|
genealogical programs. However, <application>&app;</application> offers
|
|
some unique features. </para>
|
|
|
|
<sect2 id="why-gramps">
|
|
<title>Why &app;?</title>
|
|
<para> <application>&app;</application> was conceived under the concept
|
|
that most genealogy programs were designed to provide the researcher the
|
|
capability to input information related to a particular family tree.
|
|
Most of these programs have allowed for the arranging and storing of
|
|
information consistent with the GEDCOM standards. They usually provide
|
|
means for displaying descendant or ancestral relationships by means of
|
|
graphical displays, charts, or reports. These may be augmented with
|
|
pictures or other media to enhance the data. Most provide for inputting
|
|
data on unconnected individuals/families that may or may not have a
|
|
relationship to the primary surname being researched. Various other
|
|
enhancements may also be provided in the genealogical program that
|
|
allows for different degrees of importing and exporting data from other
|
|
programs and printing the data contained in the various reports. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para> <application>&app;</application>, on the other hand, attempts to
|
|
provide all of the common capabilities of these programs, but, more
|
|
importantly, to provide an additional capability of integration not common
|
|
to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits and pieces of
|
|
information directly into <application>&app;</application> and
|
|
rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any
|
|
order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, analysis and
|
|
correlation with the potential of filling relationship gaps. In short, a
|
|
tool that provides a way to input all your research into one place and do
|
|
your analysis and correlation using the speed, power, and accuracy of your
|
|
computer instead of pencils and unmanageable reams of paper. </para>

<title>Optional ZODB support</title>

<para>If either StandaloneZODB or Zope is installed on your system,

|
<application>&app;</application> will give you the third option of

creating a new ZODB database. You can choose to start your new database
|
|
in either XML or ZODB format. Both formats have their strong and weak
|
|
points.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language, and is a human readable
|
|
sctructured description of data. It could be easily parsed by other
|
|
programs should the need occur. It stores only the data itself. Its weak
|
|
point is the relatively low speed of processing large data files. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>ZODB stands for Zope Object Database and provides the full-fledged
|
|
database support. ZODB files are not human readable. They contain a
|
|
certain overhead to assist working with large data structures. However,
|
|
ZODB provides a significant speed-up when the database size is large (over
|
|
few thousand people). </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Its is hard to tell which format is better, since this is a typical
|
|
tradeoff situation. If you are starting your research then you are likely
|
|
to be fine with the regular XML database. If you have tons of data to
|
|
import describing thousands upon thousands of people, then you are

probably better of with ZODB. </para>

<para>Views are the various ways to display different aspects of

genealogical information, as described below. Since the relevant

is selected from the list.
