On the bottom of that web page there is the following paragraph:

Any guesses as to the nature of the LISP code present? Meta
information? Accessors? Code that enters the data into the database?
I like the idea of code being tacked onto data. It's nice to be able
to ask an object "What are you? What can you do? How can I search
for text embedded in you? What else can be done with you?".
