----------------------------------------------
The goal is to:
1. house external data and prevent duplication on insert

2. facilitate regular exression operations to extract meaningful data
3. be able to reference it from outside sources (no action required) and maintain reference to original data

It is well suited for data from outside systems that
* requires complex transformation (parsing and mapping)
* original data is retained for reference

The data is converted to json by the importing program and inserted to the database.
Regex expressions are applied to specified json components and the results can be mapped to other values.
