There are a few plugins, like Database, Glossary, Quiz or Assignment, that are exporting/importing data. Right now, there is no API to support this, so each plugin is using different formats and implementing different ways to deal with this.

A new API should be created to homogenise how plugins deal with import/export features and preferably standard formats, like Common cartridge and QTI (for quizzes), should be used to store this data.
