Hi Michel I would say you’ve not given enough background for a clear answer.
Background items like these could change the answer : Are you sharing with others? If so, what tools do they have? Are you implementing an app? If not what or who is the customer? Are you defining something to be taken and extended by others? Where is source of any data? Does it have a data model? Is it a fixed or growing set of data, or does it not exist yet? For example, if your data is fully specified wrt data type and type and is complete and a good existing app generates it and you are just harvesting it for linking, for example, then OWA concerns are less important. Just a few thoughts to consider. Cheers, David > On 4 Jul 2018, at 11:54, Bohms, H.M.
