Data sounds good for computer (many codes) and could be used for generating a database :
 
# having a place database (txt, csv, xml, bd etc ...) which could be used on open-sources projects (licence)
# to import data into gnumeric (save data on XML gnumeric)
# to assign one format per column (font size="8" for the first column, font size="10" for the second, etc ...)
# to order by name
# to create a new column (1 on the first line, 2 on the second, 3 on the third) then to use automatic filing from the first line to the last one with data.
# to save on XHTML
# to work with "remplace" function on your text editor (or grep, sed, awk)
# with XML flat database, I generate a new XML by using XSLT
ex: if you don't use autofiling for number, (''<xsl:number value="postion()" format="1."/>'') generates ordered id for your place object.
