The Conglomerate interface is implemented by each access method. The implementation must maintain enough information to properly open the conglomerate and scans, and to drop the conglomerate. This information typically will include the id of the container or containers in which the conglomerate is stored, and my also include property information.
Conglomerates are created by a conglomerate factory. The access manager stores them in a directory (which is why they implement Storable).
