Claim 8:
9. A method performed by an intermediate interface comprising:
receiving a request for a less expressive system metadata from a client application;
generating an interface representation of a more expressive system metadata;
generating the less expressive system metadata in response to the interface representation of the more expressive system metadata;
generating a site metadata mapping in response to at least one of an object, a class and an attribute of the interface representation of the more expressive system metadata and a subset of the interface representation of the more expressive system metadata not included in the less expressive system metadata;
transmitting the less expressive system metadata to the client application wherein the client application is operative to alter the less expressive metadata but is unable to alter the more expressive metadata and the site metadata mapping;
receiving an updated less expressive system metadata from the client application;
generating an updated interface representation of the more expressive system metadata in response to the updated less expressive system metadata and the site metadata mapping wherein the updated less expressive system metadata includes at least one of an updated attribute and an updated object;
generating an updated more expressive system metadata in response to the updated interface representation of the more expressive system metadata;
replacing the more expressive system metadata with the updated more expressive system metadata; and
executing a data management algorithm in response to the updated more expressive system metadata.
