Visitors can search and access information on the caves available on Grottocenter.  
Some caves are  under specific provisions imposed by a legal authority, which may restrict access to some types of  information and possibly also to the cave itself.

All users can carry out all operations on the range of information available on Grottocenter, except that data subjected to the specific provisions as mentioned above in article 1

The administrators of Grottocenter (the board of Directors of the Wikicaves association) can sign agreements with partner organizations. The partner organizations will be sent information on modifications carried out on the caves according to a predefined criterion (area, club, etc.).

These agreements  may include specific measures aiming to restrict access to some information. These restrictions will need to be specifically motivated.

Contributors can display a ‘Restrictions’ window  regarding  access to a cave. A new field is then activated which makes it possible to clarify the reasons for these restrictions (for example: presence of bats, agreement with the owner, presence of carbon dioxide or other hazards,….), any conditions required for entry, and who to contact for entry. In the event of abuse, the contributor's account may be temporarily or permanently disabled.
In accordance with those specific measures mentioned above in articles 1 and 4, the coordinates of some caves will not be published; the location field then will then not be available. It  will be  replaced by a field making it possible to contact an organization, or the managing agency of the cave. On the map, the cave will only be fictitiously located as if in the main town of the municipality in which it is located.

The UIS has just sent a letter to all the federations and to the delegates of each country to invite them to contact the Wikicaves association to set up a partnership so that we define together the data available to the federations which can be directly integrated into Grottocenter and those for which special protective measures must be taken  

Grottocenter faster

Vincent, who joined the development team a few weeks ago, has just modified the code of the two applications (Back-end which provides the data and Front-end which is the one you use) in order to optimize the data which are exchanged. The result is faster page display because less information is downloaded.       I invite you to take the opportunity to contribute .
