 ### Fixed
 
+## [v2.0.0] - 2024-08-30
+
+### Added
+
+- `storage:schemes`, `storage:refs` and Storage Scheme Object
+- Support the storage extension in Links
+- Support for the Alternate Assets Extension
+- Support for other storage providers, including custom S3 hosts
+
+### Changed
+
+- The extension is a framework for storage providers, it doesn't strictly define the individual providers.
+- The storage providers are grouped in `storage:schemes` and located in the Item Properties, Collections or Catalog metadata
+- Assets and Links reference the storage schemes by key in `storage:refs`
+
+### Removed
+
+- `storage:platform`, `storage:region`, `storage:requester_pays` and `storage:tier`

+## Running tests
+
+The same checks that run as checks on PR's are part of the repository and can be run locally to verify that changes are valid.
+To run tests locally, you'll need `npm`, which is a standard part of any [node.js installation](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
+
+First you'll need to install everything with npm once. Just navigate to the root of this repository and on
+your command line run:
+
+```bash
+npm install
+```
+
+Then to check markdown formatting and test the examples against the JSON schema, you can run:
+
+```bash
+npm test
+```
+
+This will spit out the same texts that you see online, and you can then go and fix your markdown or examples.
+
+If the tests reveal formatting problems with the examples, you can fix them with:
+
+```bash
+npm run format-examples
+```

 This document explains the Storage Extension to the [SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog](https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-spec) (STAC) specification.
-It allows adding details related to cloud storage access and costs to be associated with STAC Assets.
+It allows adding details related to cloud object storage access and costs to be associated with STAC Assets.
 This extension does not cover NFS solutions provided by PaaS cloud companies.
 
 - Examples:
-  - [Item example 1](examples/item-naip.json): Shows the basic usage of the extension in a STAC Item.
-  - [Item example 2](examples/item-nsl.json): Another example of basic usage.
+  - [NAIP Item with Alternate Assets](examples/item-naip.json): Shows a mixture of storage providers, including custom S3 hosts
+    and the [alternate assets extension](https://github.com/stac-extensions/alternate-assets).
+  - [Catalog with Link](examples/catalog-link.json): Shows the usage of the extension on a link in a STAC Catalog.
+  - [Collection with Auth](examples/catalog-link.json): Shows the usage of the extension in a STAC Collecion in combination with the
+    [authentication extension](https://github.com/stac-extensions/authentication).

+#### platform
 
-### Running tests
+The `platform` field identifies the cloud provider where the data is stored as URI or URI template to the API of the service.
 
-The same checks that run as checks on PR's are part of the repository and can be run locally to verify that changes are valid. 
-To run tests locally, you'll need `npm`, which is a standard part of any [node.js installation](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).
+If a URI template is provided, all variables must be defined in the Storage Scheme Object as a property with the same name.
+For example, the URI template `https://{bucket}.{region}.example.com` must have at least the properties 
+`bucket` and `region` defined:
 
-First you'll need to install everything with npm once. Just navigate to the root of this repository and on 
-your command line run:
-```bash
-npm install
+```json
+{
+  "platform": "https://{bucket}.{region}.example.com",
+  "region": "eu-fr",
+  "bucket": "john-doe-stac",
+  "requester_pays": true
+}
 ```
 
-Then to check markdown formatting and test the examples against the JSON schema, you can run:
-```bash
-npm test
-```
+In case an `href` contains a non-HTTP URL that is not directly resolvable,
+the `platform` property must identify the host so that the URL can be resolved without further information.
+For example, this is especially useful to provide the endpoint URL for custom S3 providers.
+In this case the `platform` could effectively provide the endpoint URL.
 
-This will spit out the same texts that you see online, and you can then go and fix your markdown or examples.
+We try to collect pre-defined templates and best pratices for as many providers as possible
+in this repository, but be aware that these are not part of the official extension releases
+and are not validated. This extension just provides the framework, the provider best pratices
+may change at any time without a new version of this extension being released.
 
-If the tests reveal formatting problems with the examples, you can fix them with:
-```bash
-npm run format-examples
-```
+The following providers have defined best pratices at this point:
+
+- [AWS S3](platforms/aws-s3.md)
+- [Generic S3 (non-AWS)](platforms/s3.md)
+- [Microsoft Azure](platforms/ms-azure.md)
+
+Feel encouraged to submit additional platform specifications via Pull Requests.
