I would say that storing by meaning the right way but important is this:

<< The storage of data by its meaning makes the data useful
_everywhere_that_understands_the_meaning, instead of anywhere that
understands the form (format). >>

This understanding should not be hardcoded, instead a form should be found
for storing this information that enables similar systems to "understand"
the meaning by providing as much information as needed to have a link
between the information stored and the using system.

Think of this message: I have to write in a way that will enable you to
understand my view (sometimes this works, sometimes not :-) ). One
elementary requirement is that i will provide the information that will
"dock" to already existent information in your system.

So by staying with the example above you determine another format there,
wich is wrong. _Any_ form that links (even trough intermitting links) to the
using system is ok. So your "application" can support your simple format or
sophisticated compression algorithms as long as they are defined so that the
information can be read.
