Providing code list extensibility

摘要

A computer implemented method for providing code list extensibility includes providing a first code data type representation. The first code data type representation corresponding to a first code data type and having a first code value representation for at least one code value. The at least one code value associated with a corresponding code value issuing entity. The method may also include providing a second code data type representation. The second code data type representation corresponding to the first code data type and having a second code value representation for the at least one code value. The second code value representation including a unique identifier associated with the code value issuing entity. The method also may include mapping the first code data type representation and the second code data type representation based at least in part on the unique identifier associated with the code value issuing entity.

1. A computer implemented method for providing code list extensibility, the method comprising:
providing an external representation of a code data type, the external code data type representation having at least one external code value generated by a developer of at least one of a business object or a software suite for an existing business application and used by customers or software vendors; providing an internal representation of the code data type, the internal data type representation having a second code value representation for the at least one internal code value, the internal code value representation including a unique identifier for the developer and is used by a database for the business application; and mapping the external code data type representation and the internal code data type representation based at least in part on the unique identifier for the developer.
