This page is for discussion and description of a proposed "high-level" storage interface for Fedora. A draft proposal can be found below. In a nutshell, this proposal aims to remove certain hard-coded storage assumptions in Fedora, and present a storage layer/interface that would allow a place for extensions to Fedora that implement multiplexing, non-blob storage, lock-free updates, cloud storage, etc.
