Abstract

Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for modifying process control data involve obtaining the process control data in an extensible markup language format, converting the process control data in the extensible markup language format to a second data format, and storing the process control data in a database. The process control data is subsequently edited by retrieving the process control data from the database, modifying the process control data, storing the modified process control data in the second data format in the database, converting the modified process control data from the second data format to the extensible markup language format, and storing the modified process control data in the extensible markup language format.
