| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates generally to a metadata exchange, and more particularly to a metadata exchange which is suitably used to build a metadata model for a reporting system that accesses a plurality of data stores including relational databases.
Metadata exchanging for importing metadata from one or more external sources of metadata into a metadata model is described. A metadata extracted from an external source is in a source format specific to the external source. The metadata model uses a model format. The metadata exchange translates the metadata in the source format into one or more model objects in the model format, and then import the model objects into the metadata model. |
