 * DSPL seems an excellent CSV-based data packaging system
 * Would be nice to have JSON instead of XML for metadata

+Formats - Tabular
+=================
+
+General characteristics
+-----------------------
+
+Most systems have a model that looks something like:
+
+Dataset
+
+* headers: list of Columns
+* data: RowSet
+* total (total_rows in couch, count in sql style systems): number of rows in RowSet
+
+Column:
+
+* id
+* label
+
+RowSet - list of rows:
+
+* getLength
+* getRow(i): returns row
+
+Row:
+
+* list of cells
+
+R (Data Frames)
+---------------
+
+* http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html#Lists-and-data-frames
+
+TODO: Need more info ...
+
+Tablib
+------
+
+* Tablib: http://docs.tablib.org/
+* Tablib Core: https://github.com/kennethreitz/tablib/blob/develop/tablib/core.py
+
+Model:
+
+* Dataset - core object
+
+  * dict: list of Rows (can instantiate with list of arrays/tuples)
+  * headers: header fields
+
+* Row: list of fields
+* Databook: list of Datasets (e.g. spreadsheet workbook)
+
+SlickGrid
+---------
+
+JS tabular data presentation.
+
+* SlickGrid: https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid
+* SlickGrid.Data.DataView: https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/blob/master/slick.dataview.js
+
+Model:
+
+* Two arguments: data, columns
+* Data: an array of dicts or a Model object
+
+  * Model: object implement three methods - see sample implementation SlickGrid.Data.DataView_
+
+    * model.getItem(i) // Returns the ith row
+    * model.getLength() // Returns the number of items
+    * model.getItemMetadata(i) // not sure about this ...
+
+* Columns: at least id, name (label) and field attributes. See https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid/wiki/Column-Options
+
+JS Data
+-------
+
+* https://github.com/michael/data
+
+Model:
+
+* Data.Hash (A sortable Hash data-structure)
+* Data.Graph (A data abstraction for all kinds of linked data)
+* Data.Collection (A simplified interface for tabular data that uses a Data.Graph internally)
+* Persistence Layer for Data.Graphs
