Hans-Jurgen (or do you go by Hans?), see my reply I just sent off to John, some of your questions are answered there. But yes, I am talking about a system that no longer has a relational database, at least not necessarily as it's primary data store, although that can still happen. In the model I talk about a relational database is just another storage mechanism with certain data management capabilities and certain IO characteristics that may or may not match up with the logical and physical models that you build. The metadata for finding the best fit can itself be built out and if you follow what companies like EMC are doing you'll see a vision of that all the way down to the hardware level where data is shuffled off to different storage media on the fly to best optimize data delivery.
If part of your business is to generate a relational database or spit out WSDL then you will need a way to build those artifacts from your business metadata. However, if you don't mind taking on the recursive overhead (and it's tiny for what were're talking about) then those processes themselves can be defined in metadata and the "XML output" module can spit out XSD, XSLT or what have you as long as you feed it the correct metadata to traverse the other metadata...
