Process Architecture - EDS Shared Data Repository

a logical collection of data that is shared by all elements of the architecture at all levels. Access to the Shared Data Repository must, of necessitity, be carefully controlled; each data store in the repository will have a single owner, though there may be several readers and updaters who are given authority to access the store. (EDS SOW)
