+
+	New:
+
+	* Two sub projects: 'artifacts' and 'artifact-database'
+	
+		- 'artifacts' is a set of generic interfaces modelling 
+		  the workflow to parameterize a process and producing
+		  outputs.
+
+		  An artifact is created via factories. It describes
+		  itself via 'describe', it is parameterized via
+		  'feed' and brought to new states with 'advance'.
+		  Once able to produce output 'out' returns the
+		  requested product.
+
+		- 'artifact-database' is the default implemention
+		  of the workflow described with 'artifact'.
+
+	* artifact-database persists artifacts with a H2-database
+	  [http://www.h2database.com] (default) or a
+	  PostgeSQL 8.3+ database [http://www.postgresql.org/] (optional)
+
+	* artifacts may spawn background threads to copy with long running
+	  processes. After finishing work they are able to re-synchronize
+	  themselves to the artifact database.
+
+	* artifact-database is accessible via an HTTP REST server
+	  implemented on top of the Restlet API http://www.restlet.org/
+	  It has to be started as a service. Default TCP port: 8181
+
+	  HTTP GET  '/factories'             returns list of available factories.
+	  HTTP GET  '/create'                creates new artifact.
+	  HTTP GET  '/artifact/{uuid}'       returns a description of an artifact.
+	  HTTP POST '/artifact/{uuid}'       modifies an artifact ('feed', 'advance')
+	  HTTP POST '/artifact/{uuid}/{out}' delivers output for an artifact.
+
+	* artifact-database is configured with as XML file named conf.xml
+	  (default placement in directory $HOME/.artitactdb, directory
+	  may be changed with system property "artifact.database.dir")
