We just propose to use it as a *starting point*, and to extend the >format to include all the information we desire. I think that the book should be ANSI/ISO SQL. In that way, different authors can easily pull up all sorts of interesting statistical inferences without having to reprogram anything. There are plenty of open-source friendly modeled SQL database systems that could be used: SQLite FastDB even PostgreSQL as examples. If we use a database, then we can create indexes to greatly speed up operations. We will have at our disposal all sorts of operations which can be performed against the data.
