An ODM add file is used to add objects to an ODM database. The format of an add file for a database called "Story_Characters" may resemble the following:
     Story_Characters:
          Story_Star   = "Peter Pan"
          Birthday     = "Never"
          Age          = 10
          Location     = "Neverneverland"

     Story_Characters:
          Story_Star   = "Little Mermaid"
          Birthday     = "Once upon a time"
          Age          = 15
          Location     = "Under the sea"

The location of the ODM add file should be specified as an absolute path.
