Michael and Robert--thank you very much. The global id looks like an excellent avenue to explore. With this or the ZPatterns approach, I am much relieved: what I need should fit within Zope well enough after all, thanks to your ideas.
With ZPatterns, you're basically only getting separation of application logic from storage, with some extra neat things like skinscripts that make application logic easier.
If you want the retreival of meta-data without waking up the object, you still need to layer on the global unique id with ZCatalog on top of ZPatterns.
Hmm... one nice thing about ZPatterns is that you could control what is stored where, and when it's looked up, or "woken up" at the SkinScript level so the application doesn't have to muss with the details (and you can change your mind later about the details with no impact on the application!). This, to my way of thinking, is a huge advantage! -steve
