- receiving an upgraded type definition, wherein the upgraded type definition is associated with a version identifier, and wherein each of a plurality of data objects stored in the data repository comprises an instance of a type definition that includes at least one data structure indicating one or more data fields associated with the data object;
detecting a user interaction with a first data object;
determining, based at least in part on the version identifier associated with the upgraded type definition, that the upgraded type definition includes a more recent version of the first data object'"'"'s current data structure; and
modifying, based at least in part on one or more update policies, the first data object'"'"'s current data structure in accordance with the more recent version of the first data object'"'"'s data structure, wherein modifying, based at least in part on one or more update policies, the first data object'"'"'s data structure in accordance with a more recent version of the first data object'"'"'s data structure comprises;
identifying a first set of update policies available from the data repository that effect the more recent version of the first data object'"'"'s data,identifying a second set of update policies provided by the data repository one or more of which may be applied to effect the update of the first data object'"'"'s data structure from its current version to a version to which a policy from the first set of update policies may be applied,applying one or more update policies from the second set of update policies to the object'"'"'s data structure, andapplying an update policy from the first set of update policies to the object'"'"'s data structure.
