BFS does some of the kinds of things you're interested in.
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoI don't think this is related?
- Jtsummers 4y agoBFS is the BeOS filesystem. It's what enables applications to share content without having to directly share things, it's kind of related to what you're interested in in that the filesystem then becomes a communal database. Email isn't dumped into an (whatever the extension) Outlook file, each email is placed in a directory with metadata permitting a filesystem wide query. Calendar entries would be the same. So all users can drop calendar event cards (or whatever) into the filesystem with, say, the date, time, duration, and other metadata. Then anyone can create a calendar app or integrate calendaring into their own application. Even if just to view the data.
