Service DATA Objects (SDO) provides a data programming architecture. It provides a standardized view on data, and provides efficient transportation, as well as change capture, in form of a change summary. More specifically, it COLLECTS a data GRAPH of related business objects, called DataObjects. This graph tracks the schema that describes the DataObjects. Knowledge is not required about how to access a PARTICULAR back-end data source to use SDO in a SOA composite APPLICATION. Consequently, you can use static or dynamic programming styles and obtain connected and disconnected access.
