Type structured file system
Chanda Dharap, R. Balay, Mic Bowman · 2002
Describes the design of Nebula, a dynamic, object-based, typed file system. Nebula uses types to create well-structured files as well as to export existing files in the Internet environment. This allows for backward scalability. Files in Nebula are abstractions and are defined by objects. Nebula assumes a flat global namespace, and operations are provided to manipulate logical namespaces.>
