Data Entry System (DES)

The Data Entry System (DES) is the data capture tool of the Association for Computer Genealogy.

Only the data found in the source being recorded is captured. Nothing is added from other sources, and no silent corrections are made.

The captured data is immediately searchable! Data can be referenced using an identifier (a UUID).
