Not sure what you mean by "as well as other data in a structured hierarchy" It's a bit all-encompassing? ;-)
If cost is the issue then, have you thought about using Apple's Server software? It should be cheap as chips ($49) when Lion ships, and it includes wikis, shared contacts etc. editable via a web interface.
However, for ease of use, FileMaker server is hard to beat. It works out of the box, across Macs, iOS devices (using FileMaker Go) and even over the web (although for that you'll need the FileMaker Pro advanced version.
Otherwise, you're looking at OpenSource mysql/php based software solutions which are platform agnostic, and will work in any browser. If you do go this route, look at getting MAMP to do the heavy lifting - makes setting up the PHP and MySQL stuff a doddle.
如果您要连接 9 个或更少的远程设备，则无需购买服务器。请注意，您必须保持 FileMaker Pro 的副本运行（数据库打开）才能为这些远程连接提供服务。服务器更加强大，允许数百个具有更好管理功能的客户端进行自动备份，但价格更高。无论是通过 FM Pro 还是 FM Server 托管，您仍然需要购买客户端副本。
You need not purchase Server if you're going to have 9 or less remote devices connecting. Note that you must keep a copy of FileMaker Pro running (with your databases open) in order to serve these remote connections. Server is far more robust and allows for hundreds of clients with better admin capabilities for automated backups but comes at a steeper price. You still need to purchase client copies regardless of hosting via FM Pro or FM Server.

不确定“以及结构化层次结构中的其他数据”是什么意思，这有点包罗万象吗？ ;-)
如果成本是问题，那么您是否考虑过使用 Apple 的 Server 软件？当 Lion 发货时，它应该像芯片一样便宜（49 美元），并且它包括 wiki、共享联系人等，可通过网络界面进行编辑。
然而，就易用性而言，FileMaker 服务器很难被击败。它开箱即用，可跨 Mac、iOS 设备（使用 FileMaker Go）甚至通过 Web（尽管为此您需要 FileMaker Pro 高级版本）。
否则，您将需要基于开源 mysql/php 的软件解决方案它们与平台无关，并且可以在任何浏览器中使用，如果您确实采用此方法，请查看 MAMP 到完成繁重的工作 - 使得设置 PHP 和 MySQL 变得轻而易举。
