Abstract: A technique for serializing both logical and physical meta-model information in a single file is disclosed. In an embodiment, the logical meta-model information is serialized in an Extensible Marking Language (XML) schema compliant format, and the physical meta-model information is inserted into the logical meta-model in suitable locations su ch that the mappings between the logical and physical meta-models are preserved. In an embodiment , an XML "appInfo" annotation is used to carry physical meta-model information used b y multiple applications and suitably placed in a nested configuration with its corresponding logical meta-model information.

Abstract: Within the scope of existing XML Schema specifications, an approach is provided to embed simple types within a complex type so an XML stream can have instances of the embedded simple types, even without the presence of XML elements. Because the approach is within the scope of existing XML Schema specifications, the approach is transparent to known XML parsers. With the approach, an XML schema will have a complex type with a mixed flag set to true and an element set to be a dummy element. The dummy element has a simple type and one of (i) a name of the dummy element and (ii) a name of the simple type is one of a predetermined set of names. This XML schema is for use with a parser which, on parsing the schema, will interpret the dummy element as one of an embedded simple type and an inherited simple type.

Abstract: A system and method of relationship management for data modeling in an integrated development environment is provided. A method of incorporating a program cod e file includes generating a relational schema of symbols in the program code file based on a framework for models in the integrated development environment, the schema comprising at least two related tables; determining a relationship between the at least two tables in the relational schema; adding definitions from the program code file for symbols in the relational schema to a definition set retaining definitions of symbols; and producing proxy definitions for use wi th the definition set for each symbol in the program code file without a definition in the definition set.

Abstract: A meta-model for creating models of alternative physical representations of logically equivalent entities, such as alternative wire format representatio ns of logically equivalent messages, includes a logical meta-model and a physical meta-model . The logical meta-model provides logical entity component classes for creating a logical model which describes, in a platform and programming language neutral manner (e.g. as an XML schema), the logical structure of the modeled entity as a hierarch y of logical entity components. The physical meta-model provides classes for creating a physical model which describes the alternative physical representations. The physical meta-model includes Base Classes representative of generic physical representations of the logical entity components, with "correspondence associations" being defined between the Base Classes and corresponding logical entity component classes. The physical meta-model further includes at least one set of physical representation- specific, Derived Classes descendent from the Base Classes.
