FLEXIBLE METADATA COMPOSITION

摘要

Various embodiments provide an ability to abstract type resolution between multiple type systems. At least one type can be described in one or more programmatically accessible file(s). In some embodiments, an application using a different type system can programmatically access and resolve a type of the at least one type system without knowledge of a location of where a description of the type resides. Alternately or additionally, type descriptions contained in the one or more programmatically accessible file(s) can be analyzed and restructured into one or more new programmatically accessible file(s) based, at least in part, upon the type descriptions.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving one or more input criteria associated with generating one or more output files, at least one input criteria associated with a namespace hierarchy; receiving one or more input metadata files that include information associated with at least one type contained within the namespace hierarchy; responsive to receiving the one or more input metadata files, reorganizing the information associated with the at least one type based, at least in part, on the one or more input criteria; and generating at least one output metadata file configured to include the reorganized information associated with the at least one type.
