Perhaps it would be best to have, say, four different formats for different classes of problems (with the understanding that most problems are mixed). E.g., some classes of problems are best represented via a priority queue, others via a tree that can be alpha-beta pruned, etc. For internal processing images might be best implemented via some derivative of SVG, though the external representations a plausibly bit maps. Etc.
But datawise a priority queue is just a set of things with priority numbers attached. The fact that you are going to _use_ it as a priority queue is a property of the code module, not the data. Similarly, the alpha-beta algorithm is, well, an algorithm - not a reason to create an incompatible format. And see earlier comments about graphics being semantically represented as logic, even if the implementation uses specialized data structures for efficiency. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
