Abstract
A communication system and data format extracts required object data from a database and updates the database with amended or new object data and associated data relationships following optional modification of the object data by an external system. A communication data format is used for communicating data between applications for storage and retrieval. The data format includes a data field for conveying a data item and a plurality of attributes associated with the data field. The plurality of attributes include a data type identifier for use in determining an executable procedure to be used in processing the data item, and at least one other attribute used in determining particular operations to be applied in processing the data item by the executable procedure.
