Abstract

See full text

A method in a repository coupled to a computer system that generates OLE automation and Interface Definition Language ('IDL') interfaces from metadata (i.e., information about data). Visual Basic programming language is used to develop a tool that generates the automation binding from the metadata in the repository. The method extends C++ programming language binding across networks, independent of the Object Request Broker (ORB) being used. A schema is provided that maps the types and features of a repository to OLE automation and member functions for Windows. The method also integrates the Application Programming Interface (API) of a repository with Windows scripting programming languages through Object Linking and Embedding (OLE).
