| 42 | | Therefor enforcing sound "rules" for data types and saving lots of storage - it's not clever to keep underlying RoadTypePropertyValue as String since it takes too much space, it's not possible to change associated meaning of data once the data is in the store, while schema user from different country may not understand "by default" what Main road means, etc. On the client side, developers may build more robust UIs to deal with FDO-based data. I.e. a ComboBox instead of plain text field, where combo has it's values set to predefined `PropertyValueConstraintDictionary` object range and displayed members consist of associated string values. In that way users will be able to pick between "Highway", "Main road" or "Street", while underlying datastore keeps it's `short` or `boolean` (or any other) universal representation. |
