Enterprise Product Management System and Method

摘要

The embodiments described herein relate to providing a holistic data model representation of a product. Core product data corresponding to common characteristics associated with a product is stored as a core model. At least one extension entity is produced for the core model, including defining one or more extension rules under which each extension entity relates to the core model. A representation is assembled at run-time. The assembly includes autonomously integrating one or more applicable extension entities with the core model by identifying the applicable extension entities based on the extension rules.
