Custom configuration
The Alfresco repository provides support for the storage, management, and retrieval of content. This content may range from coarse-grained documents, to fine-grained snippets of information such as XML elements. The Alfresco repository supports a rich data dictionary, where the properties, associations, and constraints of content are present to describe the structure of such content.
The Repository Data Dictionary is, by default, pre-populated with definitions that describe common content constructs such as folders, files, and metadata schemes. However, the data dictionary is extensible—it allows the repository to manage new types of content, as each business application will have its own content requirements. This chapter explains the main concepts behind the data dictionary, and explains how to perform tasks such as defining new types of content and using them in an application.
