Take a look at Metakit. http://www.equi4.com/metakit/index.html. Its single file, small, fast and it has proven itself over many years. It is written in C++ and bindings for Python and Tcl are available. Instead of tables, rows and fields it uses similar concepts called view, index and property. Interestingly, a property may also be a subview thus allowing a mix of a relational database (flexible) and a hierarchical database (fast).
That's rude. The airport was there when I moved in and I was OK with the noise levels then. A few years ago the airport built a new runway _much_ closer to my home. Noise levels increased and they have now just about reached the level I can tolerate. Hence my concern about relaxing noise reductions in favor of negligible CO2 reductions.
From an article on the BBC News site: "A draft United Nations report published in April says that aviation accounts for 2% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6223834.stm. So I think one can conclude that aircraft emissions are irrelevant compared to other emission sources. I think the article shows the airlines' real intent: to subvert strict noise regulations by tagging on to the Climate Change hype and then suggesting that CO2 reduction is more important than noise reduction.
At Project Technology (http://www.projtech.com) they are working at conceptual modelling of software systems for over 12 years. The methodology has been developed by Sally Shlaer and Steve Mellor (of Ward/Mellor fame) and is very mature now.
They focus on building complete and executable models of software systems that can be run and tested on a simulator. In the final step the models are translated by a model-compiler into the target language of choice (C/C++, FORTRAN, whatever). No hand-coding required!
The latest version of their methodology uses a subset of UML hence it was renamed executable and translatable UML (XTUML). It is supported by a comprehensive set of tools
I think the software modelling concepts they developed are quite close to what you are looking for.
I expect to see more of these alarmist stories coming from Linuxtoday. They abandoned astroturfing after they were caught redhanded and now their new recipe is:
1. Take a "fact" with Linux community trolling potential.
2. Create a story/"guest column"/whatever around it with wild claims of doom for free/open software, Linux, etc.
3. Publish... and the high inflammability of the Linux community does the rest.

Including Canada makes all the difference!

Yes, I do live close to an airport.
