module ActiveTriples
  ##
  # Defines module methods for registering an RDF::Repository for
  # persistence of Resources.
  #
  # This allows any triplestore (or other storage platform) with an
  # RDF::Repository implementation to be used for persistence of
  # resources that will be shared between ActiveFedora::Base objects.
  #
  #    ActiveTriples::Repositories.add_repository :blah, RDF::Repository.new
  #
  # Multiple repositories can be registered to keep different kinds of
  # resources seperate. This is configurable on subclasses of Resource
  # at the class level.
  #
  # @see Configurable
