Business Object Metadata Model

In BOPF, a business object is represented as a hierarchical tree of nodes. A single node includes a set of semantically related attributes and the corresponding business logic. For each node, several types of entities can be defined to describe the specific business logic part of the business object.

The following figure subsumes the elements of the business object metadata model and displays their relationship with each other.
