We have a containerized standard for moving data around. It's called TCP/IP.

What you're developing is a containerized standard for moving understanding around, manipulating data in a relatively standard way while still maintaining its context.

Understanding, or just information. Data is "things that have been given [to you]", from the Latin, whereas information is something that informs you [about the world].
