What types of binary data should be supported? #49

Currently, data is loaded into the system via CSV files - at least, that's the method I know of. But it seems like there are useful binary formats - say if someone wants a table of

longitude, latitude, timestamp, photo

There are probably other binary formats that would be appropriate for various scientific processes.

The problem is that binary data isn't suitable for CSV files. Should we accept these data types, and if so, how should that happen?
