Hi 
I am hoping to build a rather simple set of custom content objects which will have editable property fields of different data types. The different object types will have internal relations of typical 1-1, 1-n type. The amount of data stored and cross referenced will be voluminous! In this particular case every object will contain a report with partly scientific structured data. Building custom objects is as I have understood it is a basic feature in the Alfresco framework.
Now comes the tricky part (perhaps), I want to be able to query the model for subsets of objects depending on property values. Just like you would query any dbms for result sets.
Is this something that comes natural to Alfresco?
Could Records Management be suitable for such an application?
Thanks,
Lars

Would you say that Alfresco is a good option for custom data models such as a research database?
I find it ideal as a concept with all the built-in business logic for preserving data integrity, workflow management etc.
I guess what I am wondering basically is if Alfresco will serve as RAD framework without to much workarounds and coding…

The problem with RAD is that it''s RAD But Alfresco's hability to let you code actions and webscripts with javascript and freemarker (at least for normal stuff) makes it ideal for RAD. But as in any project it's good that you know as mush as possible about what you wanna have at the end of your implementaion, before starting configuring, coding and so on.
