Reference Data
====================

AgileData.io is very flexible and allows you to name your Concepts, Details and Events in any way that makes sense to you or your organisation.

When dealing with reference data there are a number of patterns we have seen for how you can configure this data.

Feel free to pick one and use it or define your own pattern.

Example of reference data:

Reference lists

* List of country codes;

* List of Foreign Currency codes.

Location mappings 

* Wellington | Central Region

Description mappings

* 10 | Wholesale Customers
