Rob,

I've heard you describe various parts of your architecture before, and it
does sound intriguing. In fact, the way that you seem to have reduced all
data relationships down to entity types and their attributes reminds me of
something called the Universal Data Model, which I read about years ago in a
book by David C. Hay called Data Model Patterns - Conventions of Thought.

Interesting stuff for sure, but I doubt many people would "get it" by
reading bits and pieces on a mailing list. Sounds like you have some good
material for an eBook.
