Well first question is whether you need vector layer at all. I strongly 
recommend WMS for display, WFS for query, using an OGC server (eg 
geoserver, mapserver). The data can live shapefile, postgis, oracle etc 
(whatever is supported by the server). Much of this would depend 
where/how the vector data is authored. If you can use base data, then 
you should rather than copying to another format/location.

If you look back on archives for this list, you will see discussion of 
WMS/WFS combo. http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/getfeature-wfs.html
is an example.

If you insist on ascii vector format, then I would look at GML.
