 * To the extent practical, try to conform your data to the default WP schema, so
   yes, post objects of some sort with associated meta data. It is possible to have
   custom data tables, but then you’d need to develop your own UI to manage the 
   data.
 * Whether you write your PHP code procedurally or OOP is up to you. If you can 
   successfully convert your data to fit the WP schema, there may not be much other
   coding required.
