Insight is the Shaman subsystem which handles the CMS-oriented logic. It can be seen as a dedicated database, offering a special semantic, dedicated to our concepts.

Insight can be run both as an in-process component, or a RMI server (depending of startup configuration).

It exposes a single interface for executing Operation objects, which can query or update the underlying model.

Insight stores content and its metadata, currently using local Filesystem and Prevayler, repectively.
