Abstract
Systems and methods for accessing functional interface properties for data objects through a value map. The value map may or may not be visible at the client interface.
Claims14
A method for accessing interface properties of a data object, comprising:
- getting the data object from a first data field outside a value map in a second data field, wherein the data object includes data values and related data;
- and
- getting an interface property for the data object from the value map in the second data field using a computer processor.
A non-transitory program carrier device tangibly carrying computer executable instructions for accessing interface properties of a data object, the instructions being executable to implement:
- getting a data object from a first data field outside a value map in a second data field, wherein the data object includes data values and related data;
- and
- getting an interface property for the data object from the value map in the second data field.
A non-transitory program carrier device having a data structure stored thereon, the data structure comprising:
- a first data field, the first data field comprising a data object, wherein the data object includes data values and related data;
- and
- a second data field outside the first data field, the second data field comprising a value map with an interface property for the data object.
