One special feature of Geovistory is its data repository. In Geovistory, all research projects are part of the same repository. In other words, the repository is like a big network of interlinked . Each accesses its own specific and relevant part of this network.

The 'one repository' approach is possible because all entity classes in Geovistory are modeled according to the ISO-normed ontology and its extensions, as explained .

Importantly, the 'one repository' does not impact your freedom to freely decide (a) which entities are of relevance for your project nor (b) which information attributes are likely to be a historical fact. The data structure allows you to keep total control over the entities in your project.

The 'one repository'-approach allows you to build your research on previous endeavors by yourself or others as some relevant entities might already be existing.
