The root object is the top-level object in the Microsoft® Repository. It is the object from which all Microsoft Repository navigation begins. Like any Microsoft Repository object, the root object can have any number of relationships with other objects. The following figure shows seven such relationships.
Each relationship connecting the root object to other objects must conform to a relationship type. The relationship type to which these relationships conform is created by the tool information model creator.
