    is a configuration storage backends containing a complete
    configuration database, including user data, default or
    policy layers and schemata.

    <p> Configuration data is organized into layers which are selected
        by components and entities.
    </p>

    <p> Components are characterized by configuration schemas.
        A component contains configuration data for a particular
        application domain or software module.
    </p>
    <p> Entities are organised hierarchically in organisations,
        groups, roles and individual users. Each element of the associated
        hierarchy corresponds to a layer that applies to an entity.
    </p>
    <p> Layers contains data for multiple components
        associated to a single entity.
