Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for use in searching a metadata repository used to store metadata objects relating to data stored in a storage device of a decision support system. In embodiments of the invention, a search object is submitted to an object server by a requestor. The object server may search itself for objects meeting the search criteria. If unsuccessful, the search object may be sent to a metadata server which uses a metadata search engine to search the metadata repository. Results of the search may be returned to the requestor by the object server.
