+Abstract
+========
+
+The ZIP file store provides a way to store Zarr arrays and metadata in a
+single, compressed ZIP archive. This specification defines the organization
+and structure of the ZIP file to ensure compatibility across implementations.
+
+Status of this document
+=======================
+
+This is a working draft.
+
+Notes about design decisions for the native ZIP File Store 
+==========================================================
+
+The ZIP file store is designed for simplicity and easy conversion to and from
+the filesystem stores. The ability to ZIP a file system store using standard
+command line tools (e.g. `zip`) is a key virtue of the design below.
+
+Document conventions
+====================
+
+Conformance requirements are expressed with a combination of
+descriptive assertions and [RFC2119]_ terminology. The key words
+"MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
+"SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in the normative
+parts of this document are to be interpreted as described in
+[RFC2119]_. However, for readability, these words do not appear in all
+uppercase letters in this specification.
+
+All of the text of this specification is normative except sections
+explicitly marked as non-normative, examples, and notes. Examples in
+this specification are introduced with the words "for example".
+
+
+Native storage operations
+=========================
+
+Here we consider a ZIP file to be a standard ZIP archive, where:
+
+* Each key has a name (sequence of characters) and contents
+  (sequence of bytes).
+
+* Each directory has a name (sequence of characters) and children (set
+  of zero or more files and/or directories).
+
+* Each file or directory can be addressed by a path, comprised of its
+  name and the names of all ancestor directories, which uniquely
+  identifies it within the file system.
+
+… and where the following native operations are supported:
+
+* Create a file.
+
+* Write the contents of a file.
+
+* Read the contents of a file.
+
+* Create a directory.
+
+* List the children of a directory, returning the name and type (file
+  or directory) of each child.
+
+… Note that the following operations may not be supported by ZIP file stores:
+
+* Delete a file.
+
+* Delete a directory.
+
+Key translation
+===============
+
+The Zarr store interface is defined in terms of `keys` and `values`,
+where a `key` is a sequence of characters and a `value` is a sequence
+of bytes. A ZIP file store represents keys as paths within a ZIP 
+archive. No further translation of keys is required.
+
+Store API implementation
+========================
+
+The section below defines an implementation of the Zarr
+:ref:`abstract-store-interface` in terms of the native operations of this
+storage system.
+
+* ``get(key) -> value`` : Read and return the contents of the object at
+  within the archive at path ``key``. 
+
+* ``set(key, value)`` : Write ``value`` as the contents of the file at
+  into the archive at path ``key .
+
+* ``list()`` : List all keys in the archive.
+
+* ``list_prefix(prefix)`` : List all keys within the archive that begin
+  with ``prefix``.
+
+* ``list_dir(prefix)`` : List all keys within a directory within the archive.
+
+
+Canonical URI
+=============
+
+The canonical URI format for this store follows the file URI scheme of the
+archive itself, as defined in [RFC8089]_. For a Windows base directory path
+"c:\\my data.zip" the canonical URI would be "file:///c:/my%20data.zip", 
+for a Posix base directory "/my data.zip" it would be"file:///my%20data.zip".
+
+
+Store limitations
+=================
+
+The following limitations for this store are know:
+
+* ZIP file stores may not implement delete or rename operations
