If Im using a JCR-compliant repository now, how could JBoss DNA change what I can do?
JCR repositories can be used for a lot of things, but most implementations only manage the information you put in. JBoss DNA can simplify your job as a developer by doing some things automatically for you, including sequencing the content you put into your repository. Sequencing is the processing of artifacts to examine their content, identify the major structures in the information, and saving of that additional information into the repository. Sequencing saves you the time and effort of having to process these files to know what they contain. Some sequencers (like those for PNG or JPEG images) extract just a little metadata (e.g., the size, timestamps, etc.), while others (like those for DDL files) may extract most of the content into a graph structure. As we continue to build out the JBoss DNA architecture, we’ll be adding other components that JCR users will be able to benefit from. These include the federation engine, the Atom Pub REST server, the web application, the Eclipse plug
