Abstract

First metadata for a first version of a computer program product and a first metadata schema is converted into second metadata for a second version of the computer program product and/or a second metadata schema. The converting may be performed by recursively processing an object class structure representing the second metadata, to construct objects and their contents pursuant to a set of ID references for the second metadata. The recursive processing may be performed by repeatedly calling methods of an object in the object class structure to populate the content of the object using the set of ID references. The repeatedly calling may be performed using object reflection. Related methods, systems and computer programs are described.
