A network device is provisioned with a first data model of a first type and that models first properties for the network device, a second data model of a second type and that models second properties for the network device, and mappings that indicate mapped first properties among the first properties that are mapped to mapped second properties of the second properties. Upon receiving a request from a network for data for the first data model, the network device retrieves first data for the first properties of the first data model. The network device determines, based on the mappings, unmapped second properties of the second properties that are not mapped to any of the first properties. The network device retrieves, as dynamically augmented data, data for the unmapped second properties. The network device sends a request response including the first data and the dynamically augmented data.

Dynamic augmentation for functionally similar data models on network devices

A data model can be customized by a user and executed in real-time at a network device. The user provides definitions for the customized data model based on a data model locally stored on the network device. The user provided definitions are used to generate a mapping contract which is processed by a mapping package generator to generate a mapping package. The mapping package can then be processed by a translation engine to dynamically execute a customized data model in real-time.
