E1575 - Share the data in Expertiza to a remote server via PRML format

Problem Statement

Educational peer-review systems like Expertiza contains a huge volume of data accumulated during the course of its use. Each peer-review system has a different database design. The relational model is so diverse that, it is often difficult to share the data across different peer-review systems.

In order to migrate a student’s data from one peer-review system to another, one will have to do the following:

1. Understand the database design/schema of the source peer-review system
2. Understand the database design/schema of the destination peer-review system
3. Find the equivalent tables and relations in the destination peer-review system for the source peer-review system
4. Retrieve the data from the source peer-review system
5. Modify it to match the schema of the destination peer-review system
6. Insert the data to the destination peer-review system database.

This is a very tedious job. Moreover, with such a diverse schema it is quite difficult to leverage the power of this large structured data and run any sort of analytics on it.
