Data Modeling Attributes

The following section details what attributes are used to create the data model.

Attribute Groups

Attributes should be organized into domain specific attribute groups. Typically, these domains include:

  • Entity Type: Address Data Containers; Domain Folder: Address Data
Attribute Name Attribute ID
Formatted Address CalcFormattedAddress
Country ISO Code CountryISOCode

Note: For US addresses, Address1 should always be used since the US reference data does not use a postal box. The PostBox field can be used for countries whose reference data does contain a PO box.

Note: Data container types should be created under the domain with which they are used.

These attributes can be used across different object types, like where Individual and Organizational Customer records, as well as Contact data on Individual Customer, Organization Customer, and Contact Person records.

Per the general guidelines for organizing attributes in attribute groups, separate attribute groups should also be created for:

  • Displaying in Web UI, to ease Web UI component setup.
  • Each survivorship rule, to provide a clear definition of survivorship rules.
  • Each data quality policy, to provide a clear overview of which attributes are part of each data quality metric.
  • Each Object Type for each export definition, to provide a clear definition of what is exported and where.
  • According to the guidelines of privilege configuration.
  • Each Object Type, to describe what is included in data profiling, to ease the profiling configuration.
