Abstract
An information system (IS) architecture comprising an application environment operative to develop, run and edit on the fly any IS application, and a database environment coupled to the application environment and including a generic and rigid schema operative to represent all business and application components of any application in the application environment as records of the generic and rigid schema. The generic and rigid schema provides an on the fly capability to change any business component or application component in a run time application, thereby leaving the schema and the application environment unchanged during system operation.
