php - Is the W3C or any standards body working on a single standard for Entity Attribute ORM definitions? -


there literally dozens of xml, yaml, json, , nested array based (that whole convention on configuration thang) standards describing : database tables, classes, maps between tables , classes, constraints, user interface descriptions, maps between entities , user interfaces, rules user interfaces, etc. every major language has system , competing standards. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_object-relational_mapping_software]

some "patterns" active-record getting implemented in php, python, ruby, java etc. there no single consensus xml or nested array thingy de-dur. mean while in redmond, microsoft crafting xml standards for, well, , entity framework have yet orm standard.

entity framework + wpf (windows presentation foundation) + wcf (windows communication foundation) + wf (windows workflow foundation) + linq (language-integrated query) = ???

i recall mozilla's xul nifty thing, did not include orm. seems microsoft creating massive set of standards, in xml, can used define entire classes of applications web, mobile, thin client desktop, traditional heavy desktop app...all, incredibly...with single set of standards.

so ... conclude ... w3c has xforms ... (we) need orm standard move things along, can implemented in php, python, ruby, java, objective c, perl, javascript, c++, , oh ya c#. if it's active record...ok...fine...but how think problem bigger active record can handle itself.

to answer question: no; not aware of.

this being said, xforms doesn't orm. xrx, can seen opposite of orm, goal being avoid mapping, , complexity creates. if use same data structure (xml in case of xrx) hold data way, ui, services call, database, avoid data transformation , mapping, reducing complexity of system.
