Hi all,
with this mail i would like to announce 42 (FT), a framework used to
manage generic graphs in a database. It is based on a subproject of
FT, called BDB, which is a small set of wrapper classes for Berkeley DB.
In its current state (just the first snapshot), the implementation is
quite unstable - so be aware. Anyway, it would be interesting to hear
if somebody finds it useful or intends to use it.
The project page is to be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fortytwo/
The README file is given below.
Regards,
Oliver
About 42 (FT)
=============
The main intention behind FT is to have a system which manages
generic graphs
on the one hand and which allows to connect elements of such graphs,
like e. g.
nodes, to heterogenous, external resources.
In its present state FT supports the storage of generic graphs in a
native storage. This includes the creation of nodes, linking of nodes
via edges
and adding binary data to nodes.
The current state of FT is *far, far away from productive* usage!
Additionally there exists no backup mechanism
(see TODO), so loss of stored graphs is unrecoverable. The current
API is
not divided into public and non-public API (and may be modified in
future), but
it's a good way to primarely take the focus on the provided protocols.
FT is based on a wrapper for Berkeley DB, which is called BDB. BDB
is also
part of the FT project at sourceforge and can be downloaded from there
(see below). It runs under GNUstep and OS X.
To see how to use FT you may take a look into the preleminary
introduction which
is given under
doc/Introduction
In addition you may also take a look into the testcases stored under
"tests/".
To install FT please refer to INSTALL.
