Accessing Metadata in XI 3.0

How are you folks accessing metadata in XI 3.0? My requirement is rather simple, that of obtaining the Descriptions for objects, the Select SQL statement for it and so on. However what appears to be a simple idea may not be so simple to implement in XI 3.0.

I am currently struggling with this situation. Any pointers?

By metadata, I assume you mean universe contents. If so, here is what appears to be a popular solution … Document a universe using Excel and the Designer SDK
