We have been referring to e-Rocks as a website, this is true but actually it is 5 websites, each with its own job and connections to other websites and media outside.
The picture shows our internal structure and how everything is wired together so that we can create just about any "mineral" option a person could want. With direct connections outside (in the business known as APIs) we can ask other sites like Google eBay Paypal or Facebook for information and also post back.
A good example of this is our geolocation - we give Google a company address - Google sends us the map.
This principle works internally - for example if you create a blog post, you can tell the website to connect to a specific mineral, locality or collector.
If for example the locality has already been connected within a History or Organisation, then that information gets fed back to the first connection.
We can create millions of these connections inside and outside of e-Rocks. To the user the options are infinite and all easy to do (undo) on the click of a mouse - Enjoy!
