The information contained within this tool should be portable. There
should be a one click option for exporting all of the public or public and
private data. This is for the purposes of backup and data portability.
The two most logical choices for export targets are XML and Excel. The XML
target could be very simple to implement and represent a dump of the
information contained within the database in its raw form. This provides
an easy means for backup and a possible interface for third party tools to
interface with this application. The option to export to Excel is more
difficult to implement because of data types and the fact the data is
recursively structured. However, this type of data would be easier
manipulated by a typical user.
While there may be other standard formats that could be used to represent
this data, since the information included is custom and likely does not fit
into any of these formats, this is not something that will be implemented.
