| |
| EMF 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, a set of adapter classes that enable viewing and |
| command-based editing of the model, and a basic editor. Models |
| can be specified using annotated Java, XML documents, or modeling |
| tools like Rational Rose, then imported into EMF. Most important |
| of all, EMF provides the foundation for interoperability with |
| other EMF-based tools and applications, by exposing their models |
| through a rich metadata that can be used to read and modify the |
| objects. |
| |
| <br /><br /> |
| |
| EMF includes an EMF-based implementation of Service Data |
| Objects (SDO). 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. |
| |
| <br /><br /> |
| |
| EMF optionally includes the XML Schema Definition (XSD). |
| XSD is a reference library for use with any code that examines, |
| creates or modifies XML Schemas (standalone or as part of other |
| artifacts, such as XForms or WSDL documents). |
| |
| <br /><br /> |
