Oracle CDD/Repository is an active, distributed repository system that
  allows users to organize, manage, control, and integrate tools and
  applications across an entire enterprise.

  A repository is a central location where elements can be defined,
  stored, and shared.  Elements correspond to various entities involved
  in a project.  These include data definitions, models, files, reports,
  databases, tools, and system configurations.  Oracle CDD/Repository
  allows you to manage these entities throughout the system life cycle
  and across multiple applications.

  Elements also correspond to structures that support an integrated
  computing environment.  These structures further configuration
  management, project management, system building, file management, and
  tool integrations.  Oracle CDD/Repository allows you to organize and
  manage the environment for maximum efficiency and reporting.

  Oracle CDD/Repository provides full access to the capabilities of
  previous versions of CDD/Plus and includes the following capabilities:

   o  Extensible object-oriented information model

      The information model is implemented as an element type hierarchy
      that specifies both the relationship of elements and their
      definitions.  You can extend the element type hierarchy to
      incorporate new schema information as needed.

   o  Project support

      Oracle CDD/Repository includes functionality that furthers
      configuration management, project management, system building, file
      management, and tool integration.
