We introduce the CCN Information and Data Framework (IDF). The IDF provides a Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) interface for reading and manipulating data “in the network.” We show how to use the IDF API through the UNIX file I/O API, thereby placing file I/O and network communication under a single, standard interface. The IDF vely creates a name-based layer of abstraction upon which network-agnostic applications can be built.
