ESRI
Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc.
ESRI Shapefile
Consists of a main file, an index file, and a dBASE table. The main file is a direct access, variable-record-length file in which each record describes a shape with a list of its vertices. In the index file, each record contains the offset of the corresponding main file record from the beginning of the main file. The dBASE table contains feature attributes with one record per feature. The one-to-one relationship between geometry and attributes is based on record number. Attribute records in the dBASE file must be in the same order as records in the main file.
FLOD
JDBC connection with Teradata FastLoad support.
FastLoad:
Teradata FastLoad utility. A program that loads empty tables on Teradata Database with data from a network‑attached or mainframe‑attached client.
GDAL

A legal entity is a geographic entity whose boundaries, name, origin, and area description result from charters, laws, treaties, or other administrative or governmental action.
