Let's say I have tens or hundreds or thousands of feature (instance)
types. Each of them would need its own table.
Let's say I give for the application administrator, a possibility to
create new feature types? He/she merely knows what's the database is.
So I need a model which is capable for offering "dynamic table
structures".
I already have implemented parts which allow creating these types,
creating instances of them and populating those instances with data. Now
I have to come up with a method for flattening that data into one view
so that it can be used directly.
