A method is disclosed for use in a software development framework having a repository and at least two software systems. The repository contains a meta-model and the software systems, which store instances of the meta-model. The method enables exchange of the instances of the metadata among the software systems using a generalized data transfer language. The method comprises the steps of extracting a fixed component and a list of repeated components of the metadata; extracting a variable component form the list of repeated components; parsing the variable component into a first set of constituent components for a first instance of the variable component; and, determining the hierarchical order and inheritance of the first set of constituent components in the list of repeated components. Next, each of the first set of constituent components are transformed into corresponding components of the generalized software language. The first instance of the variable component is then transformed into corresponding components of the generalized software language. The list of repeated components is updated and the previous five steps are repeated for another instance of the variable component. The list of repeated components are next transformed into corresponding components of the generalized software language. After this, the fixed components are transformed into corresponding components of the generalized software language. Finally, the corresponding components are distributed to the second instance of the software model.
