I'm not sure that I follow here. I can see that the definition of, say, 
an equity option (exercise date, strike...) can be stored in a table. A 
calendar I might see---even though our calendars are not a collection 
of holidays, but rather a collection of rules such as "the third Monday 
in September" or "May 1st unless it's a Sunday, in which case the 
following Monday is a holiday instead". But a day-count convention is 
basically an algorithm. I might just have misinterpreted you, but how 
are you going to store them?
