(seemingly unrelated) tables and databases.  Our users wish to query  
data across these tables and databases without having to be SQL  
experts.  We need the ability to display the data in a single table  
from multiple sources where a field in one table might be found as a  
primary key in a completely different (legacy) database.  We are  
currently experimenting with an emf model of the meta data in a  
database that will allow users to discover commonality between  
databases, allow developers to design in commonality into new  
databases, and hide ugly table and column names from users.  Have I  
come to the right place?

I would be interested in working with the group on this type of

employer to get permission (which is ironic given how much we already  
contribute to Eclipse), but if the group is interested in this type of  
technology, I'd be willing to persue the necessary permission from my  
employer. 
 
I would see two areas that I might be able to provide a useful contribution: 
 
1) Modeling database meta-data to support dynamic data discovery and  
cross database datamining 
2) UI framework for building datamining tools 
 
I should mention that I am by no means a database expert - this just  
happens to be an area I've been exploring, from an end-user point of  
view, for a year or so with some success. 
 
Feel free to email me (bhunt at mac dot com) if you would like to  
discuss further.

Bryan, 
 
DTP is certainly interested in this type of technology, though we do not  
currently have plans for the exact requirements you mention. Are you  
offering to work on such with us?  :-)
