IT Data Model

A data model is an abstract model that documents and organizes the business data for communication between team members and is used as a plan for developing applications, specifically how data is stored and accessed.

The IT Data Model (also known as the Conceptual Data Model) defines business concepts, entities, terms, facts, and relationships.

The entities used in IT Business Analytics are based on the IT Data Model (not 100% compliant). The entities are described in the contexts (universes).
