52 provides access to a configuration database composed of one or more
53 storage backends containing settings used by software modules.
55 <p> Configuration data is organized into layers which are selected
56 by components and entities.
59 <p> Components are characterized by configuration schemas.
60 A component contains configuration data for a particular
61 application domain or software module.
63 <p> Entities are organised hierarchically in organisations,
64 groups, roles and individual users. Each element of the associated
65 hierarchy corresponds to a layer that applies to an entity.
67 <p> A layer contains data for multiple components
68 associated to a single entity.
