Abstract

A system to provide an extensible type repository environment can include one or more type repositories, each of which is capable of representing a type system and maintaining one or more type definitions, each representing a type in the type system. Each type repository can also define a type repository interface, which is capable of providing a standard set of services for use by the system in interacting with the type repository. In addition, a compiler is capable of translating types defined in one or more language modules into types defined in one or more type repositories, performing name resolution, maintaining and resolving dependencies among types during recompilation of the types. This description is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention. Other features, aspects, and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures, and the claims.
