ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for storing and using customization data. A repository contains one or more repository objects, one or more variants for each repository object, and one or more layers for each variant. Each repository object has one or more model entities. The variants for each repository object are arranged in a first hierarchy, and the layers for each variant are arranged in a second hierarchy. Each layer includes a set of customization values, each customization value corresponding to one of the model entities. Customization values can be (but need not be) provided for each model entity in each layer and in each variant. The variants and layers can be arranged in order of specificity. A customization value for a model entity can be retrieved by locating the most specific variant and the most specific layer that contains a customization value for the model entity.
