I agree that we need to define it, but do we need to do so in the Use-Case document? Do you see any requirements that are missing or would be more clearly specified if we defined a storage model more clearly in the Use-Case document?
Thanks for your comment.

For example, there needs to functions for deleting checkpoint data that is no longer needed. Also, this API should provide a mechanism for querying the meta-data that is associated with checkpoint data.
I understand that Checkpoint has to be stored somewhere to be able to delete or query the meta-data. It is said tacitly in the above paragraph. But I feel we have to define the storage of checkpoint also as this is a big question in its own. This will have implications on Authentication, Authorization, Accounting, and also maintain the Data Integrity.
