    • Repository Service: Manages the deposit, storage, and access of digital objects.
    • Naming Service: Assigns unique identifiers to digital objects (URNs).
    • Indexing Service: Enables the discovery of objects via queries.
    • Collection Service: Aggregates digital objects into meaningful collections.
    • User Interface Services: Provides human-centered interfaces for interacting with the digital library.
• Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA):
  • CORBA represents a widely used model for distributed object-oriented computing.
  • It is integrated into the middleware of many commercial network system products.
  • CORBA is based on object-oriented and client-server technologies, offering an open systems approach for digital library designers to implement its specifications as needed.
