Abstract

Provided herein are methods and systems for managing and using metadata in connection with data integration in an enterpirse computing environment. An integrated, platform-independent approach to metadata management may allow enterprise-wide access to data integration services and underlying data, and facilitate reuse and redesign of tools and jobs in the data integration environment. Tools are providing for managing metadata, including maintaining versioned metadata models that may be branched and merged during a design cycle, and dynamically implemented across the enterprise. The platform-independent approach may facilitate varied uses including implementations in heterogeneous hardware and software computing environments.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 60 / 606,301, filed August 31, 2004, entitled "Metadata Management." technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of information technology, more specifically, to the field of data integration systems. Background technique [0004] The advent of computer applications has made many business processes much faster and more efficient; however, the proliferation of different computer applications using different data structures, communication protocols, languages, and platforms has resulted in the enormous complexity of the information technology infrastructure of a typical business enterprise. Different business processes within a typical enterprise may use disparate computer applications, each developed and optimized for a specific business process rather than for the entire enterprise. For example, a merchant may have a specific comp...
