- Google Base data API is more or less the Atom Publishing Protocol. - This means you can read/write/search - The GBase data model is just adding key/value pairs to each entry - Google Base is a store of records/entries with these key/values - key can come from a predefined list or you can make up your own - limited access to your Google Base silo can be assigned to a 3rd party It's actually fairly straight forward, though obviously there's a limit to what you can model without hierarchy. There is another data model Google provides called the GData model which isn't compatible but allows for deeper structures. More analysis here [1] Regards, etc...
