GEDCOM files

[DPaul]

Anybody who has a keen intrest in the subject of genealogy,
uses one of the popular softwares like FTM, Gramps, ...etc.
The problem with these is, that they do not
allow PYTHON access to the core database. Therefore it is not
possible to do your "own thing". e.g. run analysis on various aspects
of data quality when your db becomes large.

So we turn to GEDCOM. Who in the world has cooked up this data structure?
I know that you can find some GEDcom analysis packages on GIThub, but I'm venturing
to do my own, and create a new data model, and with what (sql, xml, ...)

This post is merely to see if anybody here shares the same interest, and is willing
to exchange insights into the GEDcom file and what model (relational?) suits
these data best.

Paul
