Abstract
Systems and methods for providing application services through business object views. In one aspect, a definition of at least one business object (BO) is included in a metadata of an application platform. The definition includes descriptions of entities of the BO, and an identification of a service provider of the BO. The service provider instantiates the business object in response to an application service request. In a further aspect, a definition of a business object view (BOV) is included in the metadata of the application platform. The definition includes description of entities of the BOV, and an identification of the BO. The BO is a data source of the BOV. In one other aspect, a transformation describes a mapping of BOV entities to data source BO entities. A service corresponding to a core service of a BOV entity is called at the BO service provider based on the mapping.
