Metadata Architecture

The Metadata Architecture sample is a conceptual design that demonstrates how to structure metadata for a data solution using ADL.

Rather than targeting a specific database platform or generating deployable code, this sample focuses on the metadata layer itself — how to organize data connections, data objects, and mappings to represent a data architecture.

This is a good starting point if you want to:

• Understand how ADL organizes metadata before committing to a specific platform
• Model a logical data architecture before deciding on physical implementation
• Explore the relationship between data objects, mappings, and connections
