+Overview
+========
+Invenio-Files-REST is a files storage module. It allows you to store and
+retrieve files in a similar way to Amazon S3 APIs.
+
+Before getting started a brief overview will introduce you to the key concepts
+and terminology of the module.
+
+
+.. figure:: _static/InvenioFilesREST.png
+    :alt: Overview of InvenioFilesREST
+
+    Overview of Invenio-Files-REST
+
+
+Location
+--------
+The first concept to introduce is :code:`Location`. Locations are used to
+represent different storage systems. :code:`Location` has a :code:`name` and a
+:code:`URI` which could be a path in a local directory or a URI on a remote
+system. It is required to define at least one default location.
+
+See the API section of :py:class:`invenio_files_rest.models.Location` for more
+information.
+
+
+Storage
+-------
+A backend :code:`Storage` provides the interface to interact with a
+:code:`Location` and perform basic operations with files, such as retrieve,
+store or delete.
+
+By default, Invenio-Files-REST provides a simple local files storage
+:py:class:`invenio_files_rest.storage.PyFSFileStorage`. You can define
+your own storage with the configuration :py:data:`invenio_files_rest.config.FILES_REST_STORAGE_FACTORY`.
+
+An example of a remote storage system can be found at
+`Invenio-S3 <https://invenio-s3.readthedocs.io/>`_ which offers integration
+with any S3 REST API compatible object storage.
+
+See the API section of :py:class:`invenio_files_rest.storage` for more
+information.
+
+
+FileInstance
+------------
+Files on disk are represented with :code:`FileInstance`. A file instance
+records the path to the file, but also its `Storage`, size and checksum of the
+file on disk.
+
+See the API section of :py:class:`invenio_files_rest.models.FileInstance` for
+more information.
+
+
+Object
+------
+An :code:`Object` is an abstract representation of the file metadata: it
+doesn't come with its own data model but it is defined by
+:code:`ObjectVersion`.
+
+
+ObjectVersion
+-------------
+An :code:`ObjectVersion` represents a version of an :code:`Object` at a
+specific point in time. It contains the :code:`FileInstance` that describes and
+a set of metadata.
+
+When it has no :code:`FileInstance`, it marks a deletion of a file as a delete
+marker (or soft deletion).
+
+The latest version of the file is referred to as the :code:`HEAD`.
+
+Object version are very useful to perform operation on files metadata without
+accessing directly to the storage. For example, multiple :code:`ObjectVersion`
+can point to the same :code:`FileInstance`, allowing operations to be
+performed more efficiently, such as snapshots without duplicating files or
+migrating data.
+
+See the API section of :py:class:`invenio_files_rest.models.ObjectVersion` for
+more information.
+
+
+ObjectVersionTag
+----------------
+
+:code:`ObjectVersionTag` is useful to store extra information for an
+:code:`ObjectVersion`.
+
+A :code:`ObjectVersionTag` is in the form of :code:`key: value` pair and an
+:code:`ObjectVersion` can have multiple :code:`ObjectVersionTag`.
+
+See the API section of
+:py:class:`invenio_files_rest.models.ObjectVersionTag` for more information.
+
+
+Bucket
+------
+Consider the :code:`Bucket` as a container for :code:`ObjectVersion` objects.
+Just as in a computer, files are contained inside folders, each
+:code:`ObjectVersion` has to be contained in a :code:`Bucket`.
+
+The :code:`Bucket` is identified by an unique ID and is created in a
+given :code:`Location` with a given :code:`Storage`.
+
+:code:`ObjectVersion` are uniquely identified within a bucket by string keys.
+
+.. .note::
+
+    :code:`Objects` inside a :code:`Bucket` do not necessarily have the same
+    :code:`Location` or :code:`Storage` class as the :code:`Bucket`.
+
+A bucket can also be marked as deleted, in which case the contents become
+inaccessible. It can also be permanently removed: in this case, all contained :code:`ObjectVersions` will be also deleted.
+
+See the API section of :py:class:`invenio_files_rest.models.Bucket` for more
+information.
+
+
+BucketTag
+---------
+Similarly to :code:`ObjectVersionTag`, a :code:`BucketTag` is useful to store
+extra information for a :code:`Bucket`.
+
+A :code:`BucketTag` is in the form of :code:`key: value` pair and a
+:code:`Bucket` can have multiple :code:`BucketTag`.
+
+See the API section of :py:class:`invenio_files_rest.models.BucketTag` for
+more information.
