ABSTRACT:
A method and system for accessing and sharing metadata amongst a number of data marts through the use of object referencing. A global repository is created. Shared folders containing metadata is contained in the global repository. Any number of data marts can be linked to the global repository. Stored within the folders of the linked data marts are references pointing to certain metadata stored in the shared folders of the global repository. Multiple data marts can reference the same metadata in the global repository. Thereby, the same metadata can be accessed, used, and shared by multiple users across different data marts, provided that they have been granted the proper authority. New metadata can be promoted from a linked data mart into the global repository so that it can be shared, and updates to shared metadata can be automatically propagated to all users referencing that metadata.
