The SharpSpb project has created an encompassing data-structure
for standardizing and normalizing of entomological field data
gathered over decades and taking multiple forms, called the
Spot-Growth Database.
The Spot-Growth Database and its associated tools organize this
information as Xml, and do so according to the rules defined by the
SpotGrowth schema, a file (itself Xml) which strictly defines how
the SpotGrowth information is to be arranged and indentified.
Excel spreadsheets are Xml files structured according to a
different schema, the Office Document Workbook schema.
If a user wanted to view their Spot-Growth data as an Excel
Workbook, the most direct means of achieving this would transform
the SpotGrowth data directly to Excel data. It is a matter of
relabeling the values, SpotGrowth calls it
