Accommodating Movement Within an Information Model

Because the objects in your information model are associated through relationships, you can move among them. The first step must be from Microsoft® Repository's root object to an object in your information model. To enable this first step, include in your information model a relationship type whose instances will associate the root object with objects stored in your information model. Create a relationship type with these characteristics:

To create this relationship type

  1. Create a new interface and add it to the set of interfaces implemented by the ReposRoot class.

  2. Create a relationship type associating the newly created interface with some interface implemented by a class of your information model. Choose an interface implemented by a fundamental class, a class whose instances are good objects from which to begin moving to other objects of the information model.
