Meta Data Framework for Enterprise Information Systems Specification - Aiming to Reduce or Remove the Development Phase for EIS Systems

This paper proposes a process for implementing a meta-data approach to defining a platform independent operational computer system application. It identifies Enterprise Information System (EIS) type systems as ideal candidates for implementation using this meta-data, based on the simplification opportunities available due to the typically visual and transactional component bias of EIS systems. It describes architecture for the development of a suitable meta-data based application generator system. This development could lead to the generation of new accelerated EIS development methodologies in business modeling, analysis, design, system deployment and global information exchange.
