Re: [RESULT] [VOTE] Accept Apache MetaModel into the Apache incubator
Hi All, Sorry for the delay, but the mailing lists are ready for MetaModel: priv...@metamodel.incubator.apache.org d...@metamodel.incubator.apache.org comm...@metamodel.incubator.apache.org Please subscribe to them by sending email to private-subscribe@, dev-subscribe@, and commits-subscribe@ The private@ list is moderated and only MetaModel's PPMC can subscribe to them.

The scope of the project is to stay domain-agnostic, so the meta-model will be concerned with schemas, tables, columns, rows, relationships etc. On top of this meta-model a rich querying API is provided which resembles SQL, but built using compiler-checked Java language constructs.

I also want to shout out a big woo hoo! :-) Sincerely, this is cool news - I am very happy about it. And colleagues here at Human Inference are also cheering.
