APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ACCESSING DIVERSE NATIVE DATA SOURCES THROUGH A METADATA INTERFACE

摘要

A computer readable medium storing executable instructions includes a metadata view module (100). The metadata view module (100) has a data foundation module (314) to facilitate data abstraction of enterprise data, where the enterprise data is stored in diverse native formats. A business element module (316) facilitates the logical grouping of the enterprise data to form business elements and a business view module (318) facilitates the logical grouping of business elements.
