expose all the information present in the interface definition language (IDL)

|

<p>Metamodel metadata is organized into an hierarchy of elements. The main

elements are:</p>

<ul class="simple">

<li><p>Enumeration: An enumeration element that has a list of enumeration value
|
||
elements.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Constant: A constant element has a name and a value.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Structure: A structure element can have field elements, constant elements and
|

enumeration elements.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Operation: An operation has a list of parameter elements, result element and
|
||
error elements.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Service: A service is a collection of operation elements, structure elements,

enumerated elements and constant elements.</p></li>
|

<li><p>Package: A package is a collection of service elements, structure elements
