Abstract
An XML schema defining elements representing different point of variability (POV) types for points of variability of a pattern is provided. The elements belong to an XML schema POV data-type substitution group that allows the POV types to be substituted for one another. A pattern author is allowed to add new or custom POV data types to the substitution group, thereby allowing the pattern author to extend the pattern meta model to include new POV data types. Once the desired POV data types are defined, the pattern author is allowed to generate an instance of the pattern that applies programmatic operations of the new or custom POV data types created and substituted by the end user to each respective system object.
