[mb-devel] ThingDB from The Open Library

[david scotson]

Hi,

An interesting new semi-structured database with wiki-like revision control:

http://demo.openlibrary.org/about/tech

"Building Open Library, we faced a difficult new technical problem. We
wanted a database that could hold tens of millions of records, that
would allow random users to modify its entries and keep a full history
of their changes, and that would hold arbitrary semi-structured data
as users added it. Each of these problems had been solved on its own,
but nobody had yet built a technology that solved all three together."

Seems like it could be relevant for MusicBrainz,

cheers,

dave
