Research direction

Start in the developers section of the documentation and identify the page where internal data storage is described. Add a section explaining that GeoPackages are file-based SQL databases with specific tables, and include a link to the GeoPackage description; the work is done when readers can understand the storage approach and find the external structure reference.

Description

It might be beneficial for people to understand that we use GeoPackages internally and have a simple section explaining that it is a file-based SQL DB with specific tables.

  • have a link to the GeoPackage description to learn more about the structure

Such a page might be included in the 'developers' section.
