Connected Data Objects
open-in-new
<p>Connected Data Objects (CDO) is a free implementation of a Distributed Shared Model on top of the <a href="/facts/Eclipse_Modeling_Framework/Hd939zYh">Eclipse Modeling Framework</a> (EMF). </p><p>With CDO, programmers can easily enhance existing EMF models in such a way that they can be stored and subsequently maintained in a central model repository. While <a href="/facts/Object_relational_mapping/sjIPEIfq">object relational mapping</a> against a <a href="/facts/JDBC/uUVYg2sB">JDBC</a> data source on the server side is the shipped default, CDO provides for <i>pluggable storage adapters</i> that allow you to develop and use different mappers (like <a href="/facts/Hibernate_(framework)/7hHcgTkB"> Hibernate</a>- or <a href="/facts/OODB/Vfej0eDT">OODB</a>-based). On the client side, CDO provides a default integration with EMF, the Eclipse Modeling Framework, although other model integrations on top of the <i>CDO protocol</i> are imaginable as well. </p>
