Chapter 3 Building Conceptual and Logical Diagrams


Attributes (CDM/LDM)

In a CDM, attributes are data items attached to an entity, association, or inheritance. In an LDM, there are no data items, and so attributes exist in entities without a conceptual origin.

When you generate a PDM from a CDM or LDM, entity attributes are generated as table columns.
