A content bank for objects hosts all information regarding an object and
serves as a proxy for that object. The content bank comprises at least
one instance of a digital identity corresponding the object. Object
identity modules or services are available through the digital identity
instance. Via the content bank system, the digital identity instance
receives object-related information from a source and targeted to a
specific service. Conversely, the digital identity instance also serves
to determine when object-related information should be provided to a
third party by a given service, or when object-related information needs
to be manipulated by one or more services. A multi-mode interface is
available for third parties to communicate with the digital identity
instance. In this manner, third parties are not only able to access data
regarding an object, but are actually able to communicate with an object
via the digital identity instance.
