Managing your content with CIMPLE - a content-centric storage interface
Thomas Delaet, Wouter Joosen · 2009
A lot of computer usage involves dealing with files like videos, documents, photos. Unfortunately, for most users sharing (large) files, finding files, synchronizing files between devices and backing up files is far from trivial. To address these issues, we present an alternative for traditional filesystems: CIMPLE. CIMPLE provides a content-centric storage interface with integrated search and sharing capabilities. It also relieves the user of backup and synchronization problems. CIMPLE gives each content item a secure ID and understands content metadata.
