Cheers, I thought I'd read through the CoreData programming guide but must have missed this FAQ at the end.
So given the 3 options in this article, any guidelines for when one is more beneficial than another? * You can create the managed objects directly in code (as trivially illustrated in NSPersistentDocument Core Data Tutorial). * You can create a property list—or some other file-based representation—of the data, and store it as an application resource. When you want to use it, you must open the file and parse the representation to create managed objects. * You can create a separate persistent store that contains the default data. When you want to use it, you must copy the objects from the defaults store to the newly-created store. In my case it is a small dataset but I'd be curious what people recommend for various use cases.
