16. The computer program product of claim 14 , wherein the computer-implemented method further comprises acts of: determining that a given user is requesting the file containing the native and non-native encodings of the accessed portions of the metadata; and based on the determination that the given user is requesting the file containing the native and non-native encodings of the accessed portions of the metadata, passing the appropriate encoding to the given user.
14. A computer program product for implementing a method for dynamically adapting metadata for use with a native data encoding, the computer program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage device having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform the computer-implemented method, and wherein the computer-implemented method comprises acts of: accessing one or more portions of metadata in a file containing an object model description of an object model, the metadata comprising metadata represented in an encoding that is expected by a metadata reader configured to read native metadata; determining that at least some of the one or more portions of the accessed metadata are encoded in a non-native encoding; determining one or more metadata modifications required to transform the non-native encoding into native encoding for the at least some of the one or more portions of the accessed metadata; adapting the accessed portions of metadata from non-native encoding to native encoding according to the determined one or more modifications, such that the native and non-native encodings of the accessed portions of the metadata are contained in the file containing the object model descriptions for the object model, and such that the object model is readable by a native runtime; and applying a visibility modifier to make the adapted accessed portions of metadata internally or publicly visible.
