ABSTRACT:
A computer program for naming at least one of several data elements that can identify business information in a communication is described. Operations include associating a data element with an aggregate data element that includes one or more data elements. The data element is configured to have associated therewith an object class term that represents a logical grouping to which the data element belongs and a property term that represents a characteristic of the logical grouping. Also, the operations include selecting a data type that defines values that are valid for being assigned to the data element, wherein the data type includes a qualifier term that represents an additional semantic restriction describing the data type, and assigning the qualifier term to at least one of the property term and the object class term of the data element. The assignment is dependent upon a name of the aggregate data element.
