Yes, I think this also, but it's not easy to place a new standard, especially because nearly the whole world believes that ChessBase is the standard, although this company did never define any standard in the past 30 years. In the newest version CB has the cloud database feature, that is really a good idea, but CB is using PGN for the download, this is a joke, the user will in general not get the original game, not possible with PGN. But I think that in long term such proprietary formats like CBH will be superfluous in the web, even the use of PGN is doubtful, PGN is developed especially for data transfer between chess engines, and is not useful for more elaborated chess archives. And C/CIF will provide tools for conversions, for example the conversion between PGN and C/CIF. The latter task requires a reference PGN parser library, and I think I will design this parser in a way that it can be used in any environment, not only for C/CIF mapping, so that this parser can also be used inside Scidb or Scid (vs PC) for PGN import. About the library progress: writing the archive is finished, the next task is reading the archive.
