public interface ProfileStore

ProfileStore interface.

The ProfileStore stores and provides access to all the ProfileSet instances. A ProfileSet is the set of profiles associated with a given "profile member". A "profile member" can be a member of multiple profiles. This is what "profiling" is all about - dicing and slicing entity sets into different groups by assigning them to profiles.
