I'm not sure what you are asking, IIUC the issue is how to manage the device data in a way that offers some database-like features (which ones exactly?) and how to publish the results. IMO the best way by far to manage the evolution of such data is via structured text files, where one can check diffs to see what changes between versions, and which make it easy (via source code control, svn or Git) for multiple contributions to be integrated in a traceable way. Distribution is then just a matter of releasing those structured text files, along with documentation and/or test cases that demonstrate how to use it, like the devicemap-data and devicemap-client releases that have been done. If this is not what you are asking, best might be to create a brief list of requirements or use cases for that data management, and get consensus on that first, before talking about how to implement it. -Bertrand
