MetaModel

MetaModel definition

Virtual datamodels provide unified data interface for applications connected to AVAplace platform. Virtual datamodels provide clear and unambiguous interconnection to support integration of loosely coupled applications. Virtual datamodels represent key items to establish ubiquitous language across integrated applications (see Domain Driven Design for more details).
