Information is recorded, stored, structured and distributed in files.
Difficulties arise in administering this information in a clear, safe and consistent manner due to the manifold systems and data formats. Files are often needed in different places and various formats. The necessary conversions are in many cases redundant and still manually executed. The distribution of names is thus inconsistent and information on links and origins of files gets lost. It offers a central and standardized as well as a subject and problem oriented view on your data supply.
