Persistent Objects

[Zachary Smith <edsel!zach@labrea.Stanford.EDU>]

I am real interested in whatever is currently available on the persistent
objects concept. Has anyone written any papers about this? In particular,
I am proposing a system where large bodies of structured text (usually
but not necessarily programs) are represented in the running image by
CLOS objects. These objects also have to be organised into a database
with locking, version control, read-write access control and the like.
I understand that someone is planning on extending CLOS to include some
or all of this kind of thing and I'd dearly like to know about it.
