[Seaside] Meta models

[Derek Brans]

Hi Todd,

I did a search for EOModel on the web.  Anything I find is java related.

How do I learn about EOModel in a hurry?  What is available right now for
Squeak?

I have to ask which data's meta you are modeling?

If its domain objects - what do you need to describe about them?

EOModels are great meta models for storing information about entities,
attributes, relationships, inheritance, data types, and mapping to tables,
columns, and keys.  NextStep had great tools that could derive a whole UI
from an EOModel (rather pedestrian and generally data structure oriented
rather than task oriented but it did master-detail navigation nicely).

If an EOModel contains all the info you need it would be great if we could
agree to use that.  What I like about eomodels is that they are easy to
read, there are tools for editing them graphically, and there are now 3
object-relational libs that understand them (glorp, tantalus, and of course
EOF).
