Aim

Support non-linear concurrent modeling Become agnostic to any specific modeling software Make one DB store the scene and its revision history

Hence separate modeling from its long-term storage

Discussion

Interaction via import/export of 3D files Files now considered only temporary representation Smallest unit of change is SG node (BSON document) Each SG node can be 16MB max (automated multiple

documents workaround) Assume the 3D file to preserve metadata Lack of data validation on insertion
