Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for hiding advanced XML schema properties in EMF objects. XML Schema may comprise both user-defined properties and internal properties related to the structural features of the schema. The present invention hides the internal properties from clients while still keeping them available such that a complete XML Schema model can be generated, but without exposing a client to the non-intuitive internal properties. An SDO implementation leverages EMF implementation artifacts to present a client with an SDO API exposing user-defined properties and metadata describing user-defined properties. The SDO implementation further provides an extended API through which a client may access internal properties and metadata describing the internal properties. The invention further accounts for both dynamic SDO objects and static SDO objects.
