An object store is a database repository for storing objects (such as documents, folders, and business objects) and the metadata that defines the classes and properties of objects. Every object in an object store is associated with a class, and that class serves as the template or definition for creating new objects. Through this template or definition, you can define properties that describe the object, and security that is applied to the object. The object store also maintains references to storage locations for document content. The system administrator's interface to the object store will most often be Enterprise Manager, the built-in administrative tool for Content Engine.
