Just added a few comments to Simon's comments:

The same is true for the instances of an EMF EClass.  You would have
to the EClass instance first, then use the EClass instance to create 
and instance of the Object the EClass instance represents.  Then you could
use eGet and eSet to get and set the properties you added to the eClass.  So
it sounds like the two processes are very similar.  

I think Tuscany SDO supports
adding properties to an existing instance at runtime.  I think that is 
what the type being "Open" means...  There's more info here:
