In bulk ingest, a large quantity of content and metadata is ingested as a logical unit or is continuous. This may be accomplished using number of repository operations or may utilize methods that are optimized for bulk ingest. It is characterized by the expectation that there may be a defined delay between when the ingest is started and part or all of the content and metadata becomes available for read.
- I am the Bodelien Bodleian Library and I want to create a duplicate (backup) of my digitised texts
- I am SIdora and I want to ingest the gene sequence for a Manakin (bird) coming from my in house gene sequencers
- I am using a sync tool to upload a new collection via I2
- I want to upload a 2000 graphs each consisting of 10000 items, and I want to be sure that each graph is complete, and the whole set is complete
Simple Access
Simple access (a.k.a simple read or download) is the download of content and metadata (a.k.a representation of a resource) as a single user operation and one or a small number of repository operations. It usually RESTful, and usually contained a single request. Simple Access must not require any interleaved writes to accomplish the single user operation. The content and metadata stays fixed from the beginning to the end of the access.

Download of large amount of content as single user operation. This may require any number of repository operations to accomplish. Whether content and metadata stays fixed from the beginning to the end of the operation is to be defined. This is needs consideration a whole intellectual entity, graph or DIP is considered the unit. Also we need to consider what this means for continuous access operations.
- I am the Bodlien Bodleian library and an EMP device went off. I need to use a sync tool to download a major set of digitized texts
- I am SIdora and I need to send a whole set of genome fragments to be assembled a ORNL
- I am Hydra and I need to send a SIP to APTrust and DPN
