| The EMF project is a modeling framework and code generation facility for building |
| tools and other applications based on a structured data model. From a model |
| specification described in XMI, EMF provides tools and runtime support to |
| produce a set of Java classes for the model, along with a set of adapter |
| classes that enable viewing and command-based editing of the model, and |
| a basic editor.</p> |
| <p> |
| EMF includes the XML Schema Definition (XSD) project and an EMF-based |
| implementation of Service Data Objects (SDO). XSD provides a model and API |
| for manipulating components of an XML Schema, with access to the underlying |
| DOM representation of the schema document. SDO is a framework that simplifies |
| and unifies data application development in a service-oriented architecture |
| (SOA). It supports and integrates XML and incorporates J2EE patterns and |
| best practices. |
