Systems and methods for extensions and inheritance for units of information manageable by a hardware/software interface system

摘要

Systems and methods for extensions of units of information manageable by a hardware/software interface system are described. The method comprises the steps of: defining an initial discrete storable unit of information having a type structure; defining an extension representative of a desired additional data structure; attaching the extension to the type structure of the initial discrete storable unit of information; and,creating a new discrete storable unit of information.
