Metakit has its own Wiki [http://www.equi4.com/metakit/wiki.cgi/] and home page [http://www.equi4.com/metakit/].
Metakit is the [persistence] engine for [Wikit], of course.

   * [Mark Roseman] has written a tutorial [http://www.markroseman.com/tcl/mktcl.pdf] on Metakit for Tcl developers.
   * [Mark Roseman] tutorial [http://www.markroseman.com/tcl/mktcl.html] in HTML.
   * detailed metakit documentation [http://www.equi4.com/metakit/tcl.html].
   * [OOMK] is the preferred oo metakit interface, written in [Snit], giving many more facilities than vanilla mk4tcl.
   * desultory(unofficial) documentation on an unsupported OO-like view interface called [mk4too]

The [Metakit File Format].

The Tcl binding to Metakit is named [Mk4tcl].

It was claimed here that Mk4tcl is part of the [ActiveTcl] Batteries included release. This does not appear to be the case as of 8.4.2, 9 May 2003 - [Roy Terry]. Metakit ''is'' included in lib/mk4tcl as of tcl '''8.4.4''', but without documentation, it seems (Hof).

'''[DGP]'''
For what it's worth, here are the points I found most
useful in the Roseman intro:

   * Use properties that define as small a unit of information as possible. 
   * Creating more views is a good thing.  Do that, don't muck up a single view with special cases. 
   * Moving data to/from a Tcl array is easy and familiar to Tclers. 
   * Emphasis that restructuring of a view layout means you can continue revising your data model as you go.  Just start coding; you can change it later.
   * Some discussion when subviews are good vs. additional views.

----
"... many of the integrity
checks required in traditional database use are not required in Metakit,
because Metakit offers nested views -- a cleaner way to represent the
relationships often enforced by integrity constraints."



----
"cleaner" is a matter of opinion, ask a relational database theorist.  I don't want to start those arguments here, just point out that if you use Metakit for a complex system, you '''should''' design first, and be very careful. - EMJ

[DKF]: "You '''should''' design first"?  That's actually true of any non-trivial program, you know... ;^)  ''An ounce of thought saves a ton of effort.''
