This RepositoryConnection implementation would be used by the FederatedRepositoryConnection implementation as the access point into the federated repository (the FederatedRepositoryConnection would coordinate work in the connection/session cache and that done against the integrated cache). The federating repository connection would be responsible for populating and accessing the integrated repository. When information is not yet in the integrated repository (or it is out of date), it would connect to the different sources to retrieve the information, merge the information using the merge processor, and store the information in the integrated repository.
