In general, the system transforms the values in four different ways into meaningful values:
Role – takes : Takes short texts of fixed values from a domain
Mapping – every : Every data element contains a mapping of how an old value should be transformed into a new one
SID – converts : Converts data element RSSID into a meaningful value
ABAP – custom : Custom code that was written by a user
