Claim 0:
1. A method for identifying a document in order to store the document as a singular document in a repository, the method comprising:
receiving a document at an edge node, the edge node is located along a periphery network of edge nodes, the network of edge nodes associated with the repository, said document for storage at the repository;
monitoring the document received at the edge node, said monitoring comprising:
transmitting, from the edge node to the repository, a first communication comprising metadata relating to the document;
receiving, at the edge node from the repository, a second communication comprising, the second communication comprising:
a binary response corresponding to whether the document is stored at the repository, to the extent the document exists in the repository; and
an address within the repository that indicates where the document is stored within the repository;

storing the document at the repository when the binary response indicates that the document has not been previously stored at the repository;
preventing the edge node from storing the document at the repository when the binary response indicates that the document is stored at the repository; and
enabling the edge node to generate a discrete link and/or a discrete pointer to the address within the repository.
