Data format as an adapter/wrapper

(brian)

The user can create a data format instance which may serve as an adapter (e.g. translates calls from the API of the data format into the API of the wrapped instance). Wrapped instances may be REST services, SQL databases, one or more files on disk, or applications which are realized in the same language as the data format. This functionality will help to serve as a N to 1 bridge for data. Once in the format, no external application is required or need be found to provide the information from its source to the target software.
