Common Framework for Definition, Generation, and Management of Metadata Runtime-Loads

A computer-program product comprising a machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a metadata associated with an application, wherein the metadata is configured to enable loading during a runtime of the application and is stored on at least one node in a metadata repository;
• generating, based on the identified metadata, a runtime-loading structure for loading the metadata during the runtime of the application, the runtime-loading structure containing an identification of the at least one node storing the identified metadata in the metadata repository;
• and,
• loading, based on the generated runtime-loading structure, the identified metadata during the runtime of the application.
