-OCI Images [are](descriptor.md) [content-addressable](image-layout.md).
+All of the constituent components of the OCI Image specification are [content-addressable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-addressable_storage); for more background on this, see the [descriptor](descriptor.md) documentation.
 One benefit of content-addressable storage is easy deduplication.
 Many images might depend on a particular [layer](layer.md), but there will only be one blob in the [store](image-layout.md).
 With a different serialization, that same semantic layer would have a different hash, and if both versions of the layer are referenced there will be two blobs with the same semantic content.
