UNIFIED REPOSITORY & TOOL INFRASTRUCTURE

摘要

A system and method are described herein that provide a repository and tool infrastructure ("RTI") that provides common capabilities on both a client and server end based on standardized communication patterns and a unifying protocol that decouples existing repositories from multiple tools. The repository and tool infrastructure interface interacts with a single development editing tool and any repository housed on a server end and is implemented to each server or client technology if the common capabilities and communication patterns are fulfilled.
