Architectural patterns for metadata-based frameworks usage

The usage of metadata-based frameworks is becoming popular for some kinds of software, such as Web and enterprise applications. However, it is not clear for which kinds of problems this approach can be applied. This paper presents a study that investigated the metadata usage in existing frameworks and documented recurrent solutions as architectural patterns. As a result, software architects might use such approaches for similar problems, being aware of their benefits and drawbacks in each scenario.
