See the DataONE documentation of Data Packages and BagIt for details.

@lwinslow-usgs @mbjones is this something that is already done in rdataone pkg code?

The DataONE documentation that I linked to above documents the organization of a bagit structure that includes unique identifiers for elements of the package and an OAI-ORE manifest describing the relationships among the files in a packages. That is implemented in the dataone R package, but relies on the DataONE documentation. I haven't written up the docs explicitly in the R package. Which, by the way, is what we are refactoring in @ropensci/datapackage .
