The Rufus System: Information Organization for Semi-Structured Data
Summary: Rufus is an extensible object-oriented framework for semi-structured data, offering automatic classification, search, and browse without forcing fixed-schema translation. Unique for its class hierarchy and encapsulated actions, with demos xrufus and trn, it demonstrates practical semi-structured data management and guides Rufus development.
