Abstract
A query processing method includes receiving a query from a requestor. The query is directed to a first data model specifying multiple base data fields. The method includes determining a set of extension bindings for the first data model based on the query. Each binding specifies an extension to the first data model from a set of model extensions and specifies one of the base data fields of the first data model as a node at which the extension is added. The method includes generating a data object from base data values and extension data values according to an extended data model. The extended data model is defined by the first data model extended by, for each binding of the set, adding data fields from the specified extension to the first data model at the specified node. The method includes returning the data object to the requestor.
