AIMS |
6 |
|
- should encapsulate Tangram, DBI, DBD::CSV and LWP:: to access them in an unordinary (more convenient) way ;) |
7 |
|
- introduce a generic layered structure, refactor *SUBLAYER*-stuff, make (e.g.) this possible: |
8 |
|
Perl Data::Storage[DBD::CSV] -> Perl LWP:: -> Internet HTTP/FTP/* -> Host Daemon -> csv-file |
9 |
|
- provide generic synchronization mechanisms across arbitrary/multiple storages based on ident/checksum |
10 |
|
maybe it's possible to have schema-, structural- and semantical modifications synchronized??? |
