The ICatalog, ICatalogObject, and ICatalogCollection interfaces provide top-level functionality such as creating and modifying objects. The ICatalog interface enables you to connect to specific servers and access collections. Call the ICatalogCollection interface to enumerate, create, delete, and modify objects, as well as to access related collections. The ICatalogObject interface is used to get and set properties on an object.

The utility interfaces (IRemoteComponentUtil and IRoleAssociationUtil) allows you to program very specific tasks for collection types, such as associating a role with a user or class of users.
