Abstract
A method includes receiving a query directed to a first data model that specifies base data fields. The method includes determining extension bindings for the first data model. A binding specifies an extension to the first data model and specifies one of the base data fields as a node at which the specified extension is added. The extension specifies a non-empty set of data fields. The method includes retrieving base data values according to the base data fields and extension data values according to, for a first binding, the set of data fields. The method includes generating a data object from the base and extension data values according to a second data model. The second data model is based on the first data model extended by adding the data fields from the extension specified by the first binding to the first data model at the specified node.
