Yes, your example is complicated.

This depends on what you want to achieve. Our software provides
records or collections via conneg at the URLs, and you could build in
similar functionality to your service, but a dump of your content may
also be appropriate. See below.

If you are looking to have another copy of the data stored somewhere,
and cannot run a bibserver instance, then you could do a conversion of
your data to bibjson and upload to bibsoup.net. Also, if you want to
persist copies of your data, either in your current format or in
bibjson (or both), then take a look at thedatahub.org - it provides a
place to put datasets for storage and discoverability. A bibjson
dataset stored there could be used as the resource for a
bibserver-based instance of your collection, thus increasing the
number of available copies and access methods, and giving the URL /
conneg sort of access to your individual records.
