Hi Dana,
I think getting started with eXist is a great idea, I would  set up multiple
collections, although you can arrange the data in a variety of ways. You can
also query across collections and data types. Let me know when you get eXist
up and running and I can send you some sample queries.

-Winona

I'll download and install eXist and check out the sandbox.
