Org already can substitute a spreadsheet or a plain-text data storage with tables, a wiki with external and internal links etc, but it still can't be a full-pledged key-value store (which can be used as semantic NoSQL database). So i would start implementing maps (dicts, key-value stores) upon org-mode. I want to do it incrementally, adding one small feature at a time. I want to implement the following features: - Automatically assign unique IDs to all headlines in buffer/region/subtree - Nested properties (properties are maps basically) - does that require nested drawers? - Property :LINKS: and commands to navigate across headlines linked to each other - Previous property does not set the nature of a link (parent, child, prerequisite, reference), implement :LINK-TYPE: or something like that - Previous task allows to export to RDF, because now any relationship of headlines can be seen as triple headline1 - type-of-link - headline2 These additions do not require any new syntax, they build upon good old properties. After that id-markers would be a magnificent generalization. Also, i do not promise i will do this anytime soon, i'm no expert in Emacs Lisp. Any thoughts welcome :)
