Entitetskomponentstatus

Entitetskomponentstatus is a term used in data modeling and enterprise architecture to describe the state of a component that belongs to a larger entity. The concept recognizes that an entity may consist of multiple components whose lifecycle and validity must be tracked separately.

In this context, a component is a substructure linked to an entity—for example, a customer's addresses, contact methods, or a product's configuration settings. The status indicates where the component stands in its lifecycle and whether it is available for use in business processes.

Common statuses include active, inactive, deprecated, pending, in-development, and archived. Organizations may customize the status set; statuses are usually implemented as an enumerated type or coded attribute and governed by business rules.

Applications and benefits: entitetskomponentstatus supports data governance, lifecycle management, and data quality by controlling which components participate in transactions, reporting, and integrations. A status change may trigger rules such as disallowing the use of inactive components or preserving historical records for previously active ones.

Modeling considerations: store the status as a field on the component, with auditability and versioning if appropriate. Ensure consistency with the parent entity's lifecycle and with referential integrity; define propagation rules for status changes and how they affect downstream systems.

In practice, this concept helps organizations manage modular data more effectively and supports governance across complex information systems.
