+# Thingfish PostgreSQL Metastore
+
+* http://bitbucket.org/mahlon/thingfish-metastore-pggraph
+
+## Description
+
+This is a metadata storage plugin for the Thingfish digital asset
+manager.  It provides persistent storage for uploaded data to a
+PostgreSQL table.
+
+It is heavily based on the regular PG metastore, however it differs by
+storing objects as nodes, and their relations as edges.
+
+
+## Authors
+
+* Michael Granger <ged@FaerieMUD.org>
+* Mahlon E. Smith <mahlon@martini.nu>
+
+
+## Installation
+
+    $ gem install thingfish-metastore-pggraph
+
+
+##  Usage
+
+As with Thingfish itself, this plugin uses
+Configurability[https://rubygems.org/gems/configurability] to modify
+default behaviors.
+
+Here's an example configuration file that enables this plugin.
+
+        ---
+        thingfish:
+          metastore: pggraph
+
+        pggraph_metastore:
+          uri: postgres://thingfish:password@db.example.com/database
+
+
+When Thingfish starts, it will install the necessary database schema
+automatically.
