The other sections of this notebook generally assume that there will be some digital objects storage system that can be relied upon to hold the bytes safely over time. Indeed, I believe it is sensible to deal with the bit-storage and access problems separately, in the sense that any access solutions should be designed to work independently of the chosen bit-store solution.
I used to think that the bit-storage problem was essentially solved, but I have since realised that fighting bit-rot is not as easy as I originally thought.
