Preparing the Work Environment
In the context of the HOPEX IT Architecture V2 solution, a library can hold all the elements of your project: processes and org-units, for example.
*Libraries are collections of objects used to split repository content into several independent parts. They allow creation of virtual partitions of the repository. In particular, two objects owned by different libraries can have the same name.
