This is referred to as the repository or the asset repository throughout this material. This is the storage point for
reusable assets for the enterprise. There may be multiple asset repositories in the enterprise and this repository has
to integrate with them.
The asset repository focuses on the development community. Therefore, it integrates with tools that enable
the development organization to deliver and manage its value for the enterprise. The tool integrations include
development IDEs, source control, change management, databases and service registries. A general architecture
of an asset repository is shown below.
