    <title>Repository Work Lines</title>

    <para>

        The content production inside &TCAR; has been divided into

        individual work lines that relate one another based on the

        idea of doing one thing well. In this model, the content

        produced individually by each work line is combined one

        another later to achieve higher purposes (e.g., corporate

        identity for &TC;;). The repository work lines, as conceived

        here, provide a relaible environment for people to work

        syncronized and descentralized.

    </para>

        is made of.  Once design models and artistic motifs are set in

        place, graphic designers use the <function>render</function>
