Processing long-baseline interferometry data presents a unique set of complications: How does one derive relative astrometry from interferometric data? How can 1-D interferometric results be used to solve a 2-D orbit? How can baseline-only solutions be combined with historical data and how should interferometric data be published so that they can be combined with archived data? What new techniques for interferometers are coming on line? This paper contains a brief review of interferometric data analysis in the context of binary star astrometry.
