* OCI Images [are](descriptor.md) [content-addressable](image-layout.md).
* OCI Images are [content-addressable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content-addressable_storage). See [descriptors](descriptor.md) for more.
* 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.
