I take it that you're suggesting that the file system has no structure other than being an object repository. It's up to each user to impose order by having his or her own object linkage. It is indeed an interesting idea. It seems that sharing views would also be desirable since you would need to communicate with others. You'ld also have to have some form of persistence of the structural information or else run possibly billion line scripts every time you connect to the system. You'ld also need a naming scheme so that you could reference the objects for the links. Sean Quinlan is doing something similar, though only the file storage part with a system called venti. I don't know how much he's released about it but I know there's a paper in the works. Look at http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/seanq I know I've seen something similar before though I can't remember where. The idea there was a sea of objects with multiple views that made the interrelation subjective. I'll see if I can find a reference. Don't hold your breath, I'm getting older by the minute. So, it this what you are intending? Sorry its taken so long to figure it out but your descriptions have been less than clear.
