While it would be possible to use the kind of custom data store that we hacked together for our game to support one or even a few different applications, it makes more sense to think about the design of a data store more generally to support as wide a range of applications as possible. The kind of data store hinted to above would model the lexical resources and recordings appropriately and could then be the basis of a wide range of use cases. We contrasted this approach with the common model that has been used in the past for building applications around Aboriginal languages. In many cases a group is funded to build an app, contracts to a development group who use whatever technology they understand to store the data in a custom database. The disadvantage is that any data stored in this way is locked away and will not be available for other kinds of use. The goal of the kind of back-end that it could become a resource for future use and if we explicitly build in a more general interface - new ideas could flow from seeing the data in-place as it grows.
