[source] implement storages right in the source rather than in hooks
The problem is that Storage objects will most probably change entity's
dictionary so that values are correctly set before the source's
corresponding method (e.g. entity_added()) is called.
For instance, the BFSFileStorage will change the original binary
data and replace it with the destination file path in order to store
the file path in the database. This change must be local
to the source in order not to impact other hooks or attribute access
during the transaction, the whole idea being that the same
application code should work exactly the same whether or not a
BFSStorage is used or not.

know as ShowTime.
What is CubicWeb?
-----------------
With CubicWeb, the Semantic Web is a construction game!
CubicWeb_ is a semantic web application framework, licensed under the LGPL, that
empowers developers to efficiently build web applications by reusing components
(called cubes) and following the well known object-oriented design principles.
Its main features are:
* an engine driven by the explicit data model of the application,
* a query language named RQL similar to W3C’s SPARQL,
* a selection+view mechanism for semi-automatic XHTML/XML/JSON/text generation,
* a library of reusable components (data model and views) that fulfill common needs,
* the power and flexibility of the Python programming language,
* the reliability of SQL databases, LDAP directories, Subversion and Mercurial for storage backends.
Being built since 2000 by an R&D project still going on today, supporting
100,000s of daily visits at some production sites, CubicWeb is a proven end to
end solution for semantic web application development that promotes quality,
reusability and efficiency.
The unbeliever will read the quick overview_ of CubicWeb.
The hacker will join development at the forge_.
The impatient will move right away to installation_ and set-up of a CubicWeb
environment.
