Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- Entity
An Entity is a representation of a real world object ex: Mr Dupond, Contract of Mr Dupond, Account of Mr Dupond…
Entities which have same Attributes and same behavior (same Life cycle and same Functions) have the same Entity Model.
A Business Entity is necessary for Business, independently of the Organization of the Enterprise, such as Product or Customer or Contract or Account.
An Organization Entity is necessary for Organization purpose : Organization-Unit, Position, Profile, Right, Duty, Role… are all Organization-Entities
Most of the concepts developped on this website are further developped in our white papers. You can download any white paper freely. Please do not re-use without explicit permission.
