Hi there,
what do you think about using Alfresco to store structured records of data other than "natural" files.
The usecase would be : I have 15 uses for documents and need to store some datarecords as well. When do I want a separate application, when could I implement this with Alfresco as well.
Possible implementations coming to mind:
* storing dummy file with data as metadata, recordsets assigned via aspects, reports & views generated via webscript
* using webscripts to handle forms. store data in XML file, stored in spaces
* use standalone code, store data via API in repository
* use standalone code, store data in another DB
Why do I want to use Alfresco ? To reuse WebGUi, Useradministration, Workflows, Messaging, tagging, Search …
So what would you do - and when ?
