IRepository Interface
When you define an information model, the classes, relationships, properties, and collections for the model are stored in a repository database. Multiple information models can be stored in the same repository.
When to Use
Use the repository interface to create and access repository databases. You can also use the repository interface to create and access repository objects in a repository database.
