WalkthroughThe README.md file was updated to revise the project description. The new description shifts focus from technical implementation details and environment support to highlighting the project's functional capabilities, user-facing features, and broader use cases. It now emphasizes version control for large data, data sharing, provenance tracking, computational reproducibility, and the availability of both a command line interface and a Python API. Additionally, a new detailed section on Research Data Management was added, explaining JZFS’s role in managing complex experimental data with standardized metadata and integration with cloud databases. A new documentation file, docs/jzfs-spec.md, was added to discuss challenges in data ecosystems and critique current fragmented data architectures, proposing the Data Developer Platform concept as a potential solution.

11-11: Improve grammar, clarity, and consistency in the project description.The current sentence is long, missing the definite article before “Git protocol”, lacks a comma before the interface clause, and “work computationally reproducible” is awkward. Consider adding “the”, hyphenating “command-line”, and rephrasing for clarity:
-JZFS is a version control filesystem based on Git protocol for data management and publication with a command line interface and a Python API. With JZFS, you can version control arbitrarily large data, share or consume data, record your data’s provenance, and work computationally reproducible. +JZFS is a version control filesystem based on the Git protocol for data management and publication, with a command-line interface and a Python API.

14-17: Refine transition and eliminate wordiness
Consider replacing “On top of that” with “Moreover” and tightening the phrasing for clarity.- Due to these diversions and the lack of a unified platform, it is nearly impossible for DEs to build short and crisp data-to-insight roadmaps. On top of that, it’s a constant struggle to adhere to the organization’s changing data compliance standards as governance and observability become afterthoughts in a maintenance-first setting. This directly impacts the quality and experience of data that passes through meandering pipelines blotched with miscellaneous integrations. + Due to these diversions and the lack of a unified platform, it is nearly impossible for DEs to build concise data-to-insight roadmaps.

The section title “Reserach” is misspelled, and “extend capabilities”/“with respect to” could be tightened for readability.

Fix article usage and improve clarity
The sentence misses the definite article before “Git protocol,” and could benefit from hyphenating compound modifiers and streamlining phrasing.

| 1. Progressive overlap in Assembled Systems | ||
| As more tools pop in, they increasingly develop the need to become independently operable, often based on user feedback. For instance, two different point tools, say one for cataloguing and another for governance, are plugged into your data stacks. This incites the need not just to learn the tools’ different philosophies, integrate, and maintain each one from scratch but eventually pop up completely parallel tracks. The governance tool starts requiring a native catalog, and the cataloguing tool requires policies manageable within its system. Now consider the same problem at scale, beyond just two point solutions. Even if we consider the cost of these parallel tracks as secondary, it is essentially a significantly disruptive design flaw that keeps splitting the topology of one unique capability into unmanageable duplicates. | ||

Ergo, it was not a surprise to see how the early Data Mesh laid urgent focus on domain ownership, or decentralisation in other words.

Fix nested list indentation
The numbered list items include sub-points that aren’t indented correctly, which will break Markdown rendering. Indent nested bullets under their parent numbers.
- 1. Progressive overlap in Assembled Systems
- As more tools pop in, they increasingly develop the need to become independently operable, often based on user feedback. For instance, two different point tools, say one for cataloguing and another for governance, are plugged into your data stacks. This incites the need not just to learn the tools’ different philosophies, integrate, and maintain each one from scratch but eventually pop up completely parallel tracks.

Now consider the same problem at scale, beyond just two point solutions.

+ 1. Progressive overlap in assembled systems
+ As more tools pop in, they increasingly develop the need to become independently operable:
+ - Two point tools (e.g., one for cataloguing and another for governance) each evolve into standalone systems.
+ - Governance tools start requiring native catalogs and cataloguing tools introduce built-in policy management.
+ - This parallel growth fragments capabilities into duplicate, hard-to-maintain tracks.
- 2. Consistent and increasing desire to Decentralise
- What follows from assembled systems is the sudden overwhelm of managing multiple limbs of the system, and therefore, increasing complexity and friction for end users to get their hands on the data.

+ 2. Consistent and increasing desire to decentralise
+ This leads to:
+ - Not enough skilled professionals allocated to each domain.
+ - Insufficient budget and resources to detangle pipelines and build new infrastructures.
+ - A shortage of experts to train and onboard teams during migration.Committable suggestion skipped: line range outside the PR's diff.
