Abstract

A computing device having a dynamic metadata model includes an interface module, an algorithm module and a registration module. The interface module includes an interface that defines one or more API functions for obtaining metadata using an algorithm. At least one of the API functions is used with a plurality of algorithms. Each of the plurality of algorithms is associated with a business system. The algorithm module includes one or more algorithms that implement the API functions defined in the interface. The one or more algorithms provide metadata without accessing a metadata database. Each of the one or more algorithms is associated with a business system. The metadata is associated with API functions of the business system. The registration module registers the one or more algorithms on the computing device.
