## Appendix B. Built-in Types - Reference

EKM uses an object-oriented system for data typing with `EKM Object` as the base type for all data types. All other types directly extend `EKM Object` or extend some other type that is an extension of `EKM Object`. When a type extends another type, it inherits all the features of the base type such as properties, actions, displays and type attributes, and it can add new features of its own. This section provides a detailed description of each built-in data type used in EKM. For each type, the base type that it extends from is specified along with any new properties and type attributes added by the type. For file types, it also notes the valid file extensions. Non-localized names of types and properties are provided in parenthesis. Localized names are displayed in the user interface, whereas non-localized names are used in configuration files (such as process templates and lifecycles) and macros.

Note: For general information on data types, see Object Types in the User's Guide.
