Comment (by hinder):

 Another (more complicated, possibly too complicated and confusing) option
 is to have the simulation metadata stored in a work filesystem and the
 actual data only in the scratch filesystem.  They could be connected by
 symbolic links in the work filesystem so the user "sees" a unified
 simulation there.  SimFactory itself would know how to handle these links
 when archiving, purging or getting the simulation.
