E4/Resources/Semantic File System
Semantic File System (SFS) represents an add-on to the Eclipse Resource Management that augments the Resources Plug-in API with an additional API to work with RESTful or REST-like resources. The implementation is based on EFS. The Semantic File System introduces a new SPI to be implemented by content providers that handle access via their specific communication protocol or proprietary client library.
Semantic File System addresses many of the aspects that were formulated in E4/Resources/Requirements and E4/Resources/Work Areas.
