I am looking for a UNIX utility or product (commercial or shareware)
that would allow users to store and retrieve files by attributes
(metadata) rather than the UNIX filename.  For example, the user would
supply the file name, his/her name, social security number, and/or a
project name/number.  The utility would store the file in a (remote)
storage server.

The user would later be able to retrieve files by a query tool that
would accept criteria based upon the metadata and return a list of
files that met the specified criteria. The user could then specify
which file/files were to be retrieved.

This capability could be fairly easily "fudged up" using a
datbase/query facility and ftp or nfs, but I hate reinventing wheels.
Does anyone know of an utility or program that already provides this
capability?
