[ Moving to help-octave, to which this thread should belong. ]

Take a look at StatDataML
(http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html#StatDataML)

I put together a (highly) experimental Debian package for it at the
following apt-getable repository:

    deb http://people.debian.org/~rafael/R ./
    deb-src http://people.debian.org/~rafael/R ./

The upstream author is currently reworking the Octave interface for
StatDataML to take advantage of the new cell matrix data type.
