<ul class="simple">
<li>IDs not discoverable until all CNs have confirmed copy</li>
<li>Metadata searches return in max xxx secs</li>
<li>CN can store and search &gt; xxx metadata records</li>
<li>CN can store and search multiple metadata standards
- specifically (list Metadata_formats_of_interest.txt)</li>
<li>CN can load-balance to maximize performance</li>
<li>Any xxx CNs can be offline without affecting D1 services</li>
<li>xxx concurrent transactions can be supported
- different for different types of transaction e.g. delete vs. insert</li>
<li>Each CN should be available xxx% time</li>
<li>CN should expose MD in search within xxx secs of insert by MN</li>
<li>CN services should be designed to be independently scalable</li>
<li>CN services should be geographically replicated</li>
<li>CN have complete metadata copies from all MNs</li>
<li>D1 should be TRAC and/or DRAMBORA trusted repositories</li>
<li>CN should respect replication policies of MNs</li>
<li>CN should ensure that any given data set is available at any time (subject
to policy restrictions) even when xxx% of MNs are offline</li>
<li>CNs must validate that:
- data are available at all replicas
- replicas are valid</li>
<li>CNs ensure that data are available in current formats (data format upgrade?)</li>
<li>CNs should be economical to run and maintain</li>
<li>CNs should be able to be remotely administered</li>
<li>CNs should be secure and deflect malicious intent</li>
<li>CNs should provide services to detect rogue data (viruses, copyright, )</li>
