Description:

"This Oxford Common File Layout (OCFL) specification describes an application-independent approach to the storage of digital information in a structured, transparent, and predictable manner. It is designed to promote long-term object management best practices within digital repositories." (from https://ocfl.io/)

The format is capable of storing BagIt and Moab objects, with support for versioning.

There exists a possibility to add new functionality to OCFL clients by means of extensions.
