45    is a configuration storage backends containing a complete
46    configuration database, including user data, default or
47    policy layers and schemata.
48
49    <p> Configuration data is organized into layers which are selected
50        by components and entities.
51    </p>
52
53    <p> Components are characterized by configuration schemas.
54        A component contains configuration data for a particular
55        application domain or software module.
56    </p>
57    <p> Entities are organised hierarchically in organisations,
58        groups, roles and individual users. Each element of the associated
59        hierarchy corresponds to a layer that applies to an entity.
60    </p>
61    <p> Layers contains data for multiple components
62        associated to a single entity.
