[Web4lib] A common filesystem framework

[Kevin S. Clarke]

My understanding is that Ockham is more at the services level rather
than at the filesystem level, but I think the goal might be the same. 
That said, I only have a basic understanding of Ockham's goals so I'd
be interested in hearing this answer too.  I will be at an Ockham BOF
later today so might learn something there which I could contribute...
:-)
