Hello all As a side effect of ISO 19115:2014 upgrade, we have an increasing need for a common interface between CodeList and the Enum defined by GeoAPI. (Reminder: a CodeList is basically an Enum which allow new elements to be added at runtime). I have trouble finding a good interface name which can be applied to both "true enum" and "extensible enum" (i.e. "code list"). We can not use "Enum", "Enumeration" or "CodeList" since they are already used. I found "Enumerated" used in some other API (e.g. javax.persistence.Enumerated) so I took that name for now:
http://www.geoapi.org/snapshot/javadoc/org/opengis/util/Enumerated.html However I don't think it is a good name for us, since "enumeration" suggest a closed universe (we enumerated all possible elements), while "code list" is an open universe. I though about "Universe", but this is probably too big. Some other words are "catalog", "inventory", "register", "dictionary", "listing", and more. Does someone has an idea for a better interface name? Martin
