I think the whole area of intra-Mahout and extra-Mahout representations is one that needs further study. I glanced over the URL you provided and this certainly looks like something to consider. It is a bit premature to pick one at this point, but please feel free to investigate how it might be applied to Mahout. In terms of practical next steps you could:
1. Open a Jira to investigate external representation formats for Mahout 2. Propose a set of criteria that you think ought to apply to such representations 3. Contribute a business case for why this particular representation would satisfy those criteria 4. Investigate alternative representations and evaluate them so we can be sure we have done a reasonable due diligence These steps would put us all in a much better position to answer your original question.
