I'm doing some research on interfaces to file-systems (and other objects such as devices, programs, etc.) And am considering making the interface to the file-system be somewhat like that of a database. For example, a user may ask for a file by a query such as: project = furniture user = gihan name = table-legs type = lotus version = july-1990 I'm aware of the work by Peterson et. al. on "Profile" and "Univers". Does anyone have any references to other such systems? If so I'd appreciate any pointers. I'll summarise the relies I get if there appears to be sufficient interest. Thanks, Gihan
