Comment
The shared elements can be objects or information.
We obtain the definition of specialized repositories from this general definition, like those indicated as related terms.
The repositories can apply to information linked to how the enterprise works. In this case, they are not description repositories (level M1 of the OMG classification) but operational repositories (level M0). They are constituents of the information system. For example:
Person repository: “repository that makes information linked to those persons interacting with the enterprise available.”
