TECHNIQUES AND SKILLS FOR REPOSITORY ADMINISTRATION

Since there is similarity between the two roles, the techniques and skills required by the repository administrator are very similar to those required by the database administrator. The repository administrator is an IT professional, trained to work with the specific repository software that is in use. Again, attention to detail is required. The main difference is that, where the database administrator needs to interact with business management and end-users, the repository administrator is principally interacting with data administrators.
