For initial reference, I'd like to share the WebBox project [0] that
somebody posted to this list long ago. It inverts the standard
development approach: not focusing on applications, but focusing on
standardized data formats so that everything saves to, requests data
from, and is controlled by a single data store. Then, it doesn't matter
what applications you're running, they all understand and interact with
the same data.

I find Tim Berners-Lee's article about 'Socially Aware Cloud Storage' [1] a
good introduction to the concepts.
I installed the webbox software a feew weeks ago on my desktop PC. I posted
some issues I had during installation and how I resolved them [2].
That might save other people some time figuring out how to get things working ..
I didn't have time to play around with it yet, though.
