Each asset is uniform in behaviour and appearance; including what may be referred to as assets, shots, sequences, levels, users, tasks et. al. This allows tools to operate on anything and everything without requireing special attention or maintenance
Resources are natively schemaless. As opposed to other solutions that lock you into a schema prior to initiating any new project, a schemaless approach means that you are free to start out a minimalist and only build out when and where you actually need to.
Decentralisation means without dependence on centralisation. Each application operates in isolation under a commonly understood language (messaging, more on that later) and may, but doesn’t have to, interoperate with other applications. This is a service-oriented architecture.
Metadata is stored together with its content. Traditionally, metadata is seggragated into a database where it is later manipulated and managed. When separated you face issues of where the true source of things are located; is this file the latest version, even though the database has recorded another version? Where is it? You also face issues of synchronisation; I’m storing this file here, now I’ll tell the database that this is what I did.
