Entity Types Currently Supported by Data Stores

Open the Entity Type/Current Data Store matrix. Look for:

• Current information systems not supporting Entity Types
• Entity types that are not supported by current information systems

A system not supporting an Entity Type means either a business function is missing from the matrix, or the matrix does not identify completely what the business does.

An Entity Type not supported by a current information system means the current environment does not support the function, or the matrix does not identify completely how the systems support the Entity Types.

Indicate a numeric degree of support for an Entity Type by a system between 1 (minimum) and 9 (maximum).
