Abstract

Techniques and solutions are described for retrieving metadata artefacts from a repository that includes multiple instances of a metadata artefact. The instances can have at least some different content. Metadata artefacts are associated with metadata describing group, searching, or selection criteria, such as one or more of a particular solution, tenant, layer, or version. A request for a metadata artefact can include at least one value for one or more of the criteria, which in turn can be used to identify one or more relevant metadata artefacts. Identifiers for, or content of, relevant metadata artefacts can be returned in response to the request. Fallback logic can be used to determine at least in part what metadata artefacts are relevant to a request, or how to return or process request results.
