Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for collecting sets of related data with minimal redundancy, at a mainframe, and for transferring the collected data to a local workstation for processing. The mainframe remotely executes a utility application to construct an object model describing a desired structure of database elements. The object model is encoded into a single descriptive stream, such as XML, and converted to a metadata class for subsequent transfer to the local workstation. At the local workstation, the metadata class is decoded into a reconstructed object model for further processing.
