iDM: A Unified and Versatile Data Model for Personal Dataspace Management

Summary: Introduces iDM, a unified graph model spanning structured, semi-/unstructured, intensional, and infinite-stream personal data. It exposes file-internal structure alongside filesystem and email hierarchies, enabling cross-boundary queries in personal dataspaces. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
