Everything is content! The JCR (Java Content Repository) will eventually be the standard -- and sort of already is. Apache Jackrabbit Oak will take off as the open source technology of choice eventually. It's able to leverage both MongoDB and Lucene search, and has a standard for naming. I have an open source app located here (meta64.com), that's a full-stack modern standards implementation of a portal built on it. Any node is addressible on the url using the JCR standard.
- falcolas 11y agoIt strikes me that this is one of those "a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not always a square" moments. JCR seems like it fits into the content identification family; it uniquely identifies content by a hash (in the case of JCR that hash is also a path), but that hash is system dependent. That is, I can't go to a system B and ask for the hash(path) '/foo/bar' and expect to get the same content as I would on system A. Cryptographic hashes, on the other hand, make it possible to use the same hash on multiple systems and get the same content (if that content is available).
- chmike 11y agoYou need an index to achieve that. The index will tell you where the information associated to the hash is stored. That index is in itself a distributed system.
