This report describes recommendations for a digital object model for large-scale repositories dealing with long-term preservation of digital content in a scalable environment. Starting from the OAIS Reference model along with METS and PREMIS in general we focus on existing repositories and how they deal with digital objects. As a result we present the SCAPE Digital Object Model, the implementation of this model and the Data Connector API. For a Digital Object Repository that wants to integrate with the SCAPE platform it is recommended to implement the SCAPE Digital Object Model and the Data Connector API on top of the repository.
