<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>What is the difference between managed feature sources and
unmanaged feature sources? I have read that managed features sources are
stored in the site repository and that unmanaged feature sources are stored
outside the repository somewhere on the servers file system. However, I
am still unclear as to the nature of the services applied to feature sources said
to be “managed.” How exactly is data managed by the resource
service? Is there a succinct list of “management services”
provided by the resource service? And why would I want to use managed
feature sources as opposed to unmanaged? Thanks in advance.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
