You've chosen a rather 'ambitious' way of achieving your goal. If I
were in a similar position, I'd probably start from an existing
infrastructure (since I'm having the habit of being lazy) and adapt
that one to my needs instead of doing everything from scratch and
finally ask my 'competitors' to fill the gaps ;-)

The bigger part of this stuff looks like being scenery-related to me -
at least from a FlightGear perspective. The "Scenery Department"
(TM ;-) has been taking care of maintaining their 'raw' data using
rather generic and/or standardized formats. 3D models for the scenery
as well as land cover data, coast line, runways, taxiways, tarmac and
the like are stored as "Simple Features" in a spatial database, thus
allowing an automated export into almost every reasonable format. This
includes but is not limited to FlightGear's current (custom) way of
describing Scenery.
I'm certainly not going to spend any effort for writing an exporter
into your specific format - last but not least because I'm having way
too many open items on my own TODO list. But if you're willing to
adapt your tools to read Simple Features from an SQL database (PostGIS
in this case) then I'd be willing to help you interfacing to our
storage. Expect most of the stuff - at least the 'interesting bits' -
to be covered by the GPL or similar licenses.
BTW, we're open to contributions from non-FlightGear fellows ;-)
Cheers,
Martin.
