Abstract: Methods and systems for querying application metadata objects are provided. The method may comprise receiving a query identifying an application; executing the query against a metadata model for the application to obtain a result, the result identifying a first metadata object satisfying the query, wherein the metadata model identifies a plurality of metadata objects and hierarchical relationships between the plurality of metadata objects, and wherein the metadata model comprises information about structure and semantics of data used by the application; determining, from the plurality of metadata objects, a second metadata object referenced by the first metadata object; determining, from the plurality of metadata objects, a third metadata object that is a parent object of the first metadata object; building a directed graph including the first metadata object, the second metadata object, and the third metadata object; and providing a response including the directed graph to the query.

Abstract: Methods and systems for querying application metadata objects are provided. In one example, a method may comprise receiving a query identifying an application; executing the query against a metadata model for the application to obtain a result, the result identifying a first metadata object satisfying the query, wherein the metadata model identifies a plurality of metadata objects and hierarchical relationships between the plurality of metadata objects, and wherein the metadata model comprises information about structure and semantics of data used by the application; determining, from the plurality of metadata objects, a second metadata object referenced by the first metadata object; determining, from the plurality of metadata objects, a third metadata object that is a parent object of the first metadata object; building a directed graph including the first metadata object, the second metadata object, and the third metadata object; and providing a response including the directed graph to the query.
