Cache looks to me like Pick rebirthed.
Prime had a version called 'Information'.
A clone of this was ported to Unix & called 'Universe'.
Pretty neat combination of OSystem & Data store.
Which lead to a tight coupling of the Basic used to access the data.

Data is not information until 'viewed'.
(Conversation on quantum similes omitted).

If there is a possibility of inaccuracies being introduced in the
mechanism of viewing, then you'd better have the raw data there for
another view.
