Objects stored in a repository is very much an Object Oriented DB concept. CF doesn't really support this idea of storing an object. Most of this is accomplished by storing data in a RDMS.
Centralizing where you update metadata for queries is very much like ORM models. An example would be Reactor for ColdFusion. You have a code generator that allows to manage your database schema for your typical database needs and then allow you to create custom objects and object overrides. In the Java paradigm, you have Hibernate and I believe there is an initiative in CF for CF Hibernate. The point is, you can create a managed solution to abstract and centralize your work with or without a framework or larger paradigm. Just figure out how to make it reuseable.
