upspin seems to be mostly a global naming, fine-grained (not just groups) authorization, addressing and indexing system.
conceptionally it doesn't require the use of CLI tools, though (unknown to me) it might be the first implementations are centered around that. i think the problems it attempts to solve are very real, and i'd like to find out more. i haven't seen how to have it represented on an easily accessible (conventionally) global file hierarchy on plan9 (and then, trivially on other systems by exposing it via cifs for example).
