Apache ISIS integration with Apache metamodel

[Sudhakara Allam <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am a data architect and have been envisioning metadata consolidation and
resulting Enterprise application derivation using toolsets such as Apache
ISIS and Apache metamodel. I do see a metamodel service in ISIS but it most
probably is a domain model object. I did find a similar framework called
MinuteProject which could be construed as equivalent to Apache ISIS
integrated with Apache Metamodel.

A screen for connecting and exploring resulting domain data would
definitely be useful. Could you please let me know if these features could
be added in the next release?

Regards,
Sudhakar

Hi Sudhukar,

Thanks for your interest in the framework.

It's a bit difficult I'm afraid for me to fully understand the use cases
that you are looking to solve, and therefore whether the types of
integrations you envisage with other frameworks make sense.

You are right that Apache Isis is built on a metamodel, but that is a
metamodel inferred from the domain object classes for the purpose of
rendering a GUI, not a general purpose metadata tracking capability.  ORMs
such as Hibernate and Database also have their own metamodel for the
purpose of data persistence; would your use cases integrate with them? I
suspect not, for the same reasons.

From what I know of Apache Metamodel, that does aim to be a general purpose
framework for metamodels, so that might make a better starting point.

If you want to continue the conversation, please subscribe to the users or
Dev list, ot you could join our slack group where there is continual
activity.

Thanks,
Dan

Integration with Apache Atlas would make even more sense for
maintaining and managing Enterprise data governance. So, the following are
the activities that
I am envisioning.

1) Connect to various data sources and populated metadata.
2) Consolidate and set governance directives
3) Map consolidated objects to a target unified object
4) create UI using target unified objects.
5) REST generation which is already available for target objects.

Please let me know if you could create features around these three open
source frameworks.

Sudhakar
