;[[File:Gramps-person.png|right]]<span id="person">Person</span>: ''({{icon|peop}} [[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'' - Contains the information specific to an individual person in the People category. The information may be edited directly using the [[#edit_person|Edit Person]] dialog.
;[[File:Gramps-place.png|right]]<span id="place">Place</span>: ''({{icon|plac}} [[#primary_object|prim. obj.]])'' - The Gramps concept of a Place is a particular location independent of time. Over time, the same Place may have different hierarchical (or name) information due to changing borders and political situation. For example, Leningrad and St. Petersburg represent the same place, but with different names. Places in Gramps are stored in a hierarchy and are direct accessed via the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Categories#Places_Category|Places category view]]. Places can be defined (or refined) through the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Place_Editor_dialog|Place Editor ]] and shared with the [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Select_Place_selector|Select Place]] object selector. A Place consists of:
:* Descriptive Title
:* Name (with optional date span and language attributes)
:* A list of alternative names for the place
:* Type ([[#administrative_division|administrative divisions]] such as country, state, county ...)
:* [[Gramps_{{man version}}_Wiki_Manual_-_Entering_and_editing_data:_detailed_-_part_2#Coordinates_Parser|Longitude/Latitude]]
:* Code (such as a country code or postal code)
:* A hierachical hierarchical list of regions which enclose the place

;<span id="xml">XML</span>: acronym: [https://wikipedia.org/wiki/XML E'''x'''tensible '''M'''arkup '''L'''anguage]. A schema used to define the expected structure of data in a text format. The system annotates a document in a way that data elements are syntactically distinguishable from identifying tags. A markup language defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a fault tolerant format that is both (marginally) human-readable and machine-readable.
: Gramps works with a database file when editing Trees. But for backup files and data transfer, Gramps will [[Generate_XML|generate XML]] format natively (in compressed and uncompressed forms ) identified with a <code>.gramps</code> or <code>.gpkg</code> file extension. It is the format that definitively supports every piece of genealogical data stored by Gramps. Used as the working format until Gramps 2.0 started using a ''[[Database_Backends|database backend]]'' to improve performance, XML is now the standard Tree data backup format and recommended data exchange format.Importing a backup and transfter file into a Tree database in necessary before use.
