This is the power of Genericode with context/value association and my own experience using this mechanism to customise the "semantics" of a generic data model such as party (OASIS CIQ) to meet global requirements is terrific and it has received excellent response. I also use this approach in my work where we have to deal with specific code list requirements (context specific) from different lines of business based around common code lists for the organisation.
