I have an interesting question (I think;-).
I am experimenting with the posibility of using some of the ORM meta data
for data navigation in my application. For example...
If I have the following Fact Type in my ORM:
Employee(EmpID) had Dependent(DependID)
I might have a menu something like this...
Employee
--> has
-->Dependent
With that in mind I have a few questions:
1. Has anyone used ORM meta data for navigation (something like I am
suggesting)?
2. How should I store the meta data so that I can easily query it?
3. Has anyone ever stored meta data in a relational database?
4. Does anyone have an ORM model defining storage for ORM meta data?
If this is of interest to anyone else I will probably post the results of
this attempt on ORMCentral.com
Thanks,
Eric
