    Abstract: Provided are techniques for dynamically maintaining data structures driven by heterogeneous clients in a distributed data collection system. In response to determining that a client-specific data structure has been modified in a source coupled to each of a plurality of clients, a metadata specification is generated, at each of the plurality of clients, from data structure metadata that includes attributes of the client-specific data structure; and data driven structure definitions are generated, at each of the plurality of clients, from the metadata specification, wherein the data driven structure definitions from each of the plurality of clients are to be aggregated to form a common data model in a central server.
