The Need For a Morphir Data Model (MDM)

[DamianReeves]

Those of us working on morphir-scala have arrived at a place where we need to prepare for a need to support multiple data formats (i.e. Avro, Parquet, Ion, OpenAPI, etc) by providing a Morphir frontend and backend for each.

This coupled with the pack that we've been working on a Morphir Evaluator which evaluates to data values only, has lead us to start exploring the creation of a Morphir specific data model, that can serve as both a superset of other data formats and serve as a way to deal with data use cases which do not directly involve logic.

I'm place this here as a place to centralize the discussion of this topic, but there is more to come, in this space.
