Main Description

Configuring the repository requires iteration. The Administrator should configure the repository and then allow the users to spend time with the Asset Repository.

A collection of artifacts can be used to define the configuration, such as models, and Asset Type Specifications, and Asset Workflow Specifications. These artifacts should be used to refine the repository configuration.

The Administrator should consider creating a special place in the Asset Repository to store policies and other guidance the users need to follow, as shown in the figure below. For example, the Asset Versioning Policy, Asset Workflow Specifications, Asset Type Specifications, and so forth should be stored. The set of assets stored here are to benefit both Asset Consumers and Asset Producers in their understanding of the organization of the repository and how to work with it.
