Re: [e4-dev] Terminology Question for key/value pairs in the Context

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Paul,

I was looking for a term which describes everything in the context, data objects, services, Context Variables, modifiable Context Variables etc.

"Context Elements" from Eric as a grouping term still sounds good to me.

Hi,

do we have already a name for key/value pairs in the Context? AFAIK once we make them modifiable, we call them "Context Variables" but what about a common term for the other elements?

Things in the IEclipseContext?  We call the Context Values (in the javadoc), and most often Context Variables (anything you set in the context like "activePartId" we call a variable, whether you modify it or not).

We say we can store data objects or services, so arguably if it's not a data object (Context Variable) it's a service accessed through the Context.
