Structure of the database

This database is made of author-cards describing documents.

The author-card contain the date, the author's name, the newspaper or the source ie the institution which has produced the document, the name of the persons quoted, the name of the places quoted and keywords. But the main information in the author-card is the link to access the file containing the document. This link is an url of the World Wide Web.
The text of the document or an extract may be contained in the author-card.

The documents are not contained in the database.

The documents may be located in different web sites.
