 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.
