• Make data available in a large scale analysis format such as XML.
• Save software development time by building small reusable library tools.
• Command Line Interfaces (CLI) can be quick easy interfaces to libraries.
• Build web interfaces to make your data and tools widely available. Make sure there is a text or XML data access to large amounts of data.
