The idea is to build common backend on which analytics and trading systems can run, ala www.kx.com. You could then attach different front-end for charting, etc.

This "Data Management tool" would make a great open source project.
Probably something simmiliar to a MSSQL database with a table of some sort of "standard international format" for the data description like ummmmmm "exch_Symbol_contracttype_contractmonth_year_month_day_minute_tickno_f
ormat_ price" , and then anyopne who wants to add too it could pay
someone/ or self develop the backend to a data provider and then a
frontend to a charting platform.

Joel,

you're talking tick data only I think, right?

I think daily data wouldn't even require a database - I would have thought that ASCII files or the common formats like Metastock would be appropriate for daily data.

What I was originally looking for was a simple commentary regarding CSI Data's data management program.
