A chronological history of changes to an item is kept automatically.
-
An unlimited number of images can be stored.
- Storage locations are defined in a flexible and hierarchical way.

Corema supports both Botanical and Zoological taxonomy and nomenclature.
-
Taxa have information about accepted and synonym scientific names, common names, distribution, habitat, life form, parentage of hybrids, etc. In addition, user defined properties are available.
- A flexible tree of allowed taxonomic ranks can be changed or extended according to the needs.
