Here, we will not worry about the system that keeps the bits safe, but start with the assumption that we have some reliable digital object repository that supports one or more protocols, allowing items to be read and written.

- Versioning.
- Change-logs/audit trails.
- Metadata attachments
- Relationships.
- Trusted Repository (TRAC) conformance.
