Yes, but you could have it regenerate automatically at some interval in the background (not sure the iWork script could keep the window hidden for sure though).

Yes, while that would be far easier to do once, the scripting route (while not trivial to set up) could maintain this up to date with few to no steps on your part. You could script the export (or extraction) of the data and then trigger a shell script on the command line to do the rest in R (I've not use R much myself).
My main point was to clarify to dbyler that OF had already put in an API to their data, and already do have an open (unofficially - the xml could change without warning) database format.
