"Database File System; It is a new type of file system that does away with places where you store your files. Actually do not think of it as a file system, instead think of it as a document system. And while being precise, it is not database system either, it is a faceted system?. It is a file system geared toward serving the user and is meant to make your live easier. It supports 'locating' files the way you think about them."

"The implementation is not perfect, it is a prototype grade application, meant as a proof of concept. The server and client are implemented using O'Caml?, but the client has different APIs: O'Caml, C, C++ and Objective-C."
