GEDCOM is designed for communication, not for internal representation.
If I were doing this, I would study GEDCOM and select an internal
representation that can readily be converted to or from it, but I doubt
that I would use GEDCOM itself.
I suggest you subscribe to soc.genealogy.computing, which is probably a
better place to continue this discussion. I used to subscribe to it but
do so no longer. I just checked, and it's quite active.
