Okay, I'll bite. From the link, apparently 'new', 'createWRR' and 'create' are functions, although it seems to talk only of syntax. What other functions are defined and is the word function used in the usual sense?

Are you merely talking about alternative notation for LISP and a way to serialize it? If so, I'd say 'dbd' is an implementation language, just as assembler or C are, and no more a data language than those two are. For example, what analogue does it have to make a logical inference, such as 'these are the grand-nephews/first cousins twice removed of god's father's sisters'?
