Abstract

Creating metadata for dynamic code in a descriptive metadata language. The method includes obtaining one or more first data structures defining constructs in a body of dynamic language source code. From the one or more first data structures, identifier information is extracted for one or more of the defined constructs. Knowledge about the constructs is augmented. Metadata about the body of the dynamic language source code is provided, with the source code, in a specific metadata format, to a user.
