This table identifies databases owned and operated by others on the net. For
example, Piotr Naskrecki and Dan Otte have Orthoptera Species File OnLine.
One of the taxa included there is the Tettigoniidae. The
Taxonomic_Concept_ID identifies the taxon served by the database.
DB_Module is an identifier for the database that is passed to one of
my PL/SQL packages that extracts and formats information. Basically, I tell
the package to run the module identified by this field. Comments gives
some metadata on the coverage offered by the database, e.g., species of the
world, species from the United States only, etc.
