val repo = CiteCollectionRepository(cex)
In the JVM environment, you can use the CiteRepositorySource object to create a repository from a file.
val repo = CiteRepositorySource.fromFile("jvm/src/test/resources/p12r.cex")
A CiteCollectionRepository has a catalog and data.
scala> repo.catalog.size
res0: Int = 1
scala> repo.data.size
res1: Int = 3
scala> // Example repository has one collection with three objects
