Hi,

I would start by creating a single .org document that contains all the
key attributes you want to preserve from your current database to the
one that would be inside of Pharo. Then I would try to import it to Leo
and save it as a .leo file (which is just XML). Then I doulw use the XML
reading tools in Pharo to explore such document and to see which
elements can be stored into Grafoscopio. I think that most of the
scaffolding is already there: nodes with headers, tags, body and
parent/children relationship.

Also Ston already provides what you need for a simple storage outside
the image for your new imported documents. We have complex books, like
the Data Driven Journalist Handbook[1], contained in a single
Grafoscopio notebook, occupying just 600Kb.

After that I would to to Syre and Moose, following Ben's timely and wise
advices, as usual.

Cheers,

Offray
