Interface OMRSMetadataCollectionManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

OMRSRepositoryConnector

public interface OMRSMetadataCollectionManager

OMRSRepositoryConnectors are used by OMRS to retrieve metadata from metadata repositories. Each implementation of the OMRSRepositoryConnector is for a different type of repository. This interface defines the extension that an OMRSRepositoryConnector must implement over the base connector definition. It describes the concept of a metadata collection. This is a collection of metadata that includes the type definitions (TypeDefs) and metadata instances (Entities and Relationships) stored in the repository.
