 * Structured data
 *  integration
 *  backend storage; using Postgres, , or <SQLite ></SQLite>
 * <Resource Description Framework ></Resource Description Framework> (RDF) output, for integration into <Semantic Web ></Semantic Web>

Our structured data is implemented via user-friendly individual text boxes, rather than MediaWiki-style templates; see for example Sandbox edit on the Boston OpenGuide.

We chose to use <SQL ></SQL> storage because it's flexible, and it allows guide admins to create customised queries and features; see for example the category search on the Randomness Guide to London. We included SQLite support for situations where running a proper database server isn't possible; SQLite is a complete SQL engine which stores all its data in a single file on disk. It does not use CamelCase.
