BI Java SDK Supported Open Standards
JCA (J2EE Connector Architecture) Whys this important?

Standard architecture for integration of J2EE servers
with EISs. The architecture defines a set of contracts that a Connection Management
resource adapter has to support to plug in to an application JCA provides an API for connecting to heterogeneous
server. data sources in a consistent way. Supports pluggability
of connectors into multiple J2EE engines. The SDKs
connectors are JCA-compliant.
CWM (Common Warehouse Metamodel)
Describes the exchange of shared, global metadata.
Capable of modeling a wide spectrum of OLAP
Metadata Integration
and relational providers. Common Metamodel (CWM)
You need a common understanding of metadata to be
able to exchange it between different, heterogeneous
JMI (Java Metadata Interface) systems. The SDK uses CWM to represent metadata.
Provides a common Java programming model for accessing
metadata. Common Access API (JMI)
Provides a common access API. The SDK uses JMI
mapping to render its metadata models into Java APIs.
XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) Common Exchange Format (XMI)
Standard for exchanging metadata between UML-based The SDK supports XMI to exchange and persist
modeling tools and MOF-based metadata repositories. metadata objects in a platform-independent manner.
MOF (Meta Object Facility)

Standard for the specification of interoperable metamodels,
integrated in XMI. MOF can also refer to any metadata service
which abides by the MOF specifications.
