OK - Let me see if we think this is better:
A Partition is a container for a DIT that has a named root expressed using DN syntax. For example, the ApacheDS 1.5 default configuration contains partitions named as follows: cn=schema ou=system dc=example, dc=org A Partition also refers to the implementation of the ApacheDS java interfaces that is used to store the DIT contained by the partition. Thus developers may create an user their own partition implementation.
