Digital File Cataloguer

"Heritage Data differs from most other databases in that this record must be accessible to the world at large and it must be maintained for very long periods(forever). This precludes the use of proprietary formats and, in fact it is best if no software at all is necessary to access the data. The model to emulate is an ancient inscription. It doesn't matter what sort of stone was used or what sort of chisel, all that should be needed to decipher the data is knowledge."
