A principal model is configured within a memory to facilitate automatic generation of at least one resource for use by a computer-executable application. At least one model item required for a task that is absent from the principal model is identified. The absent model item is instantiated in a decoration model that operates with the principal model to augment operational functionality of the principal model.

Model augmentation in a model-driven application development environment

A principal model is configured to facilitate automatic generation of at least one resource for use by a computer-executable application. The principal model includes a group of classes, references, attributes, and associations between any of the classes. At least one model item required for a task that is absent from the principal model is identified. The absent model item is instantiated in a decoration model that operates with the principal model to augment operational functionality of the principal model. The decoration model includes a class, a reference, and an attribute for any corresponding one of the group of classes, references, and attributes of the principal model.

Augmenting a model in a model-driven application development architecture, including defining a task to be performed on at least one model item of a principal model, where the principal model is configured to facilitate the automatic generation of at least one resource for use by a computer-executable application, identifying at least one model item required for use the task that is absent from the principal model, defining the absent model item in a decoration model, mapping the decoration model to the principal model, and storing both of the models on a computer-readable medium.

An enterprise application system including a run-time transformation server, and a message broker for routing and transforming data in the form of messages between a source application and a target application, including a plug-in for preparing requests to the run-time transformation server and for processing responses from the run-time transformation server. A method is also described and claimed.

Run-time architecture for enterprise integration with transformation generation

An enterprise information unification system including an information modeler for modeling business entities and their properties as an information model, the information model being comprised of business constructs, a data rationalizer for generating mappings from physical data assets to the information model, the physical data assets being comprised of data asset constructs, and a data thesaurus for automating tasks of data management based on the mappings. A method is also described and claimed.
