Abstract
A system and method for generating business content portable across multiple software applications is described. In one embodiment, a universal object model (UOM) is employed to art as an abstraction layer between business content and the application used to create the business content. The UOM generates portable business content from objects and operations uncovered by a descriptive language such as extendable mark-up language (XML). The UOM objects and/or properties are mapped to an application object model (AOM) which is capable of extending the properties and/or operations of the original business application. The portable business content is mapped from the AOM to another application in accordance to the applications application programming interface (API). The business content created by the UOM may be configured for other applications without rewriting the business content by modifying the AOM.
