The Turboveg databases are linked to so-called popup lists (lookup tables) with a.o. authors, literature references, cover scales, syntaxa (plant communities), and species. In the databases an author, for example, is stored by its code; the translation to its full name is stored in the lookup table containing authors names.

The table structure of the popup lists (as a matter a fact this counts for all the tables used by Turboveg) is defined in a database dictionary. Therefore it is possible to (re)build all the tables from the dictionary.

A Turboveg system can handle multiple dictionaries, each dictionary has its own set of lookup tables.

A dictionary is indicated with a name; the standard dictionary is called 'Default dictionary'.

Dictionaries can be preselected by selecting a dictionary name from the drop down menu which is located on the toolbar of the main window.
