Structural data transfer over a network

A system for transferring structural data over a network, the system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method comprising:
• providing a first storage operable to store a plurality of objects, wherein:
• each object of the plurality of objects is immutable and includes at least one of the following:
• a data object or a metadata object including at least a list of references to one or more of the following:
• at least one further data object or at least one further metadata object;
• and
• the plurality of objects includes at least one root object associated with at least one of the following:
• creation of the plurality of objects or an addition of at least one new object to the plurality of objects;
• providing a second storage communicatively coupled with the first storage via a network, the second storage being configured to store at least a copy of the plurality of objects;
• determining whether there is a new root object present in the plurality of objects that is absent from the copy, the presence of the new root object in the plurality of objects that is absent from the copy indicating that at least one object has been added to the plurality of objects that has not yet been added to the copy;
• and
• in response to the determining that there is a new root object present in the plurality of objects that is absent from the copy, transferring the new root object and the at least one object from the first storage to the second storage.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, perform a method for organizing data, the method comprising:

• providing a first storage operable to store a plurality of objects, wherein:
• each object of the plurality of objects is immutable and includes at least one of the following:
• a data object or a metadata object including at least a list of references to one or more of the following:
• at least one further data object or at least one further metadata object;
• and
• the plurality of objects includes at least one root object associated with at least one of the following:
• creation of the plurality of objects or an addition of at least one new object to the plurality of objects;
• providing a second storage communicatively coupled with the first storage via a network, the second storage being configured to store at least a copy of the plurality of objects;
• determining whether there is a new root object present in the plurality of objects that is absent from the copy, the presence of the new root object in the plurality of objects that is absent from the copy indicating that at least one object has been added to the plurality of objects that has not yet been added to the copy;
• and
• in response to the determining that there is a new root object present in the plurality of objects that is absent from the copy, transferring the new root object and the at least one object from the first storage to the second storage.
