The main idea is that all content is identified by hashing of the data. All data is stored in a central location, in a repository. When using the data a client can either traverse the repository directly (like a virtual file system), or "realize" the content onto the file system as either copied data or soft or hard links.

### Records
### Manifests

The basic method of describing data is through "records". These are simple text files that describe the content of a directory. Each entry in the directory is either a file or a subdirectory. In the Record this is expressed with a hash of the content, the size of the content and the name of the file/directory.
