Jayanth, Yes, you're correct. We'd like to explore a method for creating a simple, widely used format (such as XML or other well understood format) as a way to transfer data into Arches. This intermediate format would be processed by a python script into an Arches resource instance graph (as JSON) for insertion into Arches. Exporting data from Arches would be the reverse.
Arches currently supports a csv file format (you can review the Installation Guide for more detail on this), and import scripts to process these files. The problem is that its a rather cumbersome process, and it requires a relatively detailed understanding of the resource graphs. Hope this helps clarify the goals of this task.
