SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXPORT AND IMPORT OF METADATA LOCATED IN METADATA REGISTRIES

摘要

A method for transferring metadata including: separating, using a processor, objects in a metadata registry into system-defined objects and user-defined objects, identifying, using the processor, a consistent set of the user-defined objects to export based on relationships of the user-defined objects with other objects, and exporting, using the processor, the consistent set of user-defined objects. A method for transferring metadata may also include: receiving, using a processor, a consistent set of user-defined objects for import into a metadata registry; and importing, using the processor, the set of user-defined objects into the metadata registry, the importing comprising validating the consistency of the set of user-defined objects.
