  A virtual collection (VC) is a collection that is the result of browsing or searching repositories rather than being the result of construction and first-time publication by an organisation.

Nevertheless these VCs may need to be citable for future use and should therefore be able to be registered in a register, the VCR.

Structurally, it consists of three largely independent functional components, each providing an interface to a shared '!VirtualCollectionRegistry' core service. The sections below describe the shared 'core' and the individual components.
