CA 2E Data Model

A CA 2E data model is made up of a number of design elements, or CA 2E model objects. These are building blocks that can be put together according to certain rules to design your data model. For example:

• File—contains a list of relations that will be resolved into a list of file entries. A file represents an entity in the model.
• Field—describes an item of data.
• Condition—describes the values or set of values (domains) that a field may take.
• Relation—describes a connection between two files or between a file and a field.
