Or, "many data objects and the relationships among them can be effectively modelled as graphs".
I was thinking about my Object Browser frustrations again. (And Intertwingular Ity, and ZoE.)
And reading lots of Open Hyperdocument System info again. Which reminded me of Eugene Kim's paper (z2002-03-26-b) on using graph structures to achieve interop (or at least data migration possibilities) among Collaboration Ware apps.
A WiKi is a graph.
If I write a Wiki Page in an outliner (Wiki And Outlining), then a single wiki page becomes a graph too! Then one could Version Control each node, make a wiki page Paragraph Addressable, etc. And maybe achieve Co Outlining.

So, if I want to start building an Object Browser around this idea, what Data Store do I use? MetaKit/E4Graph? RDF (RdfDb?)? RedFoot?
And, if I'm about to drop Ms Outlook for awhile (since I'm leaving my job, I won't be tied to Ms Exchange), is there an EMail/PIM client (on Ms Windows, no money for new laptop) that is usable, but might allow me to integrate it into something I build, so I don't have to build those core bits? What about MozIlla?

An outline may be a graph, but a graph might not be an outline.
