requirements
|

|
indexing is done via tags (metadata)
|
|
provide generic data operations
|
|
search/select
|
|
import
|
|
copy/move/...
|
|
...
|
|
provide data-specific operations
|
|
import
|
|
thumbnails/previews (for images)
|
|
...
|
|
provide archive-level operations
|
|
clone
|
|
push/pull
|

commit
|

...
|
|
provide trivial configurability
|
|
data-specific actions
|
|
domain-specific archive actions

stored data
|
|
| the main idea behind this is to make a git like management system
|
|
| suited for a slightly different data, characterised as:
|
|
very large umbers of elements/files
|
|
continually increasing number of elements
|
|
elements rarely change (almost no diffing needed)
|
|
metadata is constantly changed
|
|
large elements
|
|
span more than one storage media
|
|
indirect as well as direct element cloning
|
|
copy / backup
|
|
preview
|
|
thumbnail
|
|
data is constantly searched or accessed
|
|
basic requirements
|
|
safe originals
