Summary: A family of representations $\mathcal F$ of a $C^{\ast}$-algebra $A$ is
\textit{exhaustive} if every irreducible
representation of $A$ is weakly contained in some $\phi \in \mathcal F$. Such
an $\mathcal F$ has the property
that "$a \in A$ is invertible if and only if $\phi(a)$ is
invertible for any $\phi \in \mathcal F$".
The regular representations of amenable, second countable,
locally compact groupoids form an exhaustive family
of representations. If $A$ is a separable $C^{\ast}$-algebra,
a family $\mathcal F$ of representations of $A$ is exhaustive if
and only if it is strictly spectral. We consider also unbounded operators.
A typical application is to
parametric pseudodifferential operators.
