A computer program product and method for sharing information between multiple computer applications using a grafted model network. The method includes creating a first model having one or more pre-defined fields, defining one or more application-defined fields, associating the first model with the first application project, associating the one or more application-defined fields with the second application project, grafting the one or more application-defined fields to the first model, building the first and second application projects, and dynamically installing the first and second application projects on a software platform. Building the first application project comprises creating a first database table having one or more table columns corresponding to the pre-defined fields of the first model in a database. Building the second application project comprises adding one or more table columns to the first database table corresponding to the application-defined fields in the database. Dynamically installing the first application project enables the one or more table columns corresponding to the pre-defined fields of the first model to be accessed via the software platform by the first computer application upon execution on a computer, and dynamically installing the second application project enables the one or more table columns corresponding to the pre-defined fields of the first model and the application-defined fields to be accessed via the software platform by the second computer application upon execution on the computer. |
