The ISCC is similarity preserving identifier for digital content. An ISCC is derived algorithmically from the digital content itself, just like cryptographic hashes. However, instead of using a single cryptographic hash function to identify data only, the ISCC uses a variety of algorithms to create a composite identifier that exhibits similarity-preserving properties (softhash). For an implementation of code 0xcc01 see: https://iscc-core.iscc.codes/#quick-start

Add a code for CARs so that in .storage services we could identify them by multihash
These will be signalled through e.g. the metadata sent to indexers for signalling howa provider can provide CIDs
Define transports for use in signalling protocols
