Abstract

A system includes a first non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and a second non-transitory computer-readable storage medium each having stored thereon computer executable program code which, when executed on a computer system, causes the computer system to perform steps. The steps associated with the first non-transitory computer readable medium include generating a Service Adaptation Definition Language (SADL) definition for each of a plurality of business entity types, the SADL definition being based on an intermediate representation of each of the plurality of business entities, and publishing the SADL definition as a service of a SADL engine. The steps associated with the second non-transitory computer-readable storage include discovering the SADL definition and displaying, on a user interface, a representation of the SADL definition, the user interface configured to enable selection of two or more business entity types each associated with a different model layer framework.
