The UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository Library Specification is a collection of interfaces and configuration classes that represent the primary UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository API. The specification is designed to abstract the actual storage mechanism from the UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository API callers.

The IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Library is currently the only implementation of the library specification.

Common features and functions have been encapsulated by commands in order to make the UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository API easier to work with. These commands hide the majority of the effort required to use the Question Repository Library Specification, and allow that effort to be more easily unit tested.
