Subject Area
Subject Area defines major groupings of data or information concepts.
It can be broken down to a more detailed information modelling diagram(s).
A subject area can be classified:
Reverse and forvard Engineering
A SubjectArea can be used to reverse and forvard engineer databases. From the SubjectArea there are links to “Breaks Down To” references to DataModelDiagram (logical level) and RelationalDiagram (physical level).
On the Physical Implementation tab, you can link to DataConversionTemplate and add a DataSourceConnection.
When you double click on the SubjectArea you can select to open the dialog, or go to the Logical (RelationalDiagram) or Physical (DataModelDiagram) directly.
When you have linked a SubjectArea (with a DataSourceConnection) as Master to a RelationalDiagram you can reverse engineer, see more on the RelationalDiagram.
Substitute
A substitute is used on a FreeHandDiagram when the decomposition of entities that are not diagramatic symbol or symbols that are not currently included in the diagram syntax is created.
A graphical replacement for decomposing non-graphical entities.
Swim Lane
A graphical indication that the activities are carried out by the same logical (or physical) entity.
Note, it is a legacy template previously used in UML diagrams such as Activity Diagram, in the latest syntax the template Activity Partition is used instead.
System Area
A generic grouping mechanism for Information System. A system could be belongs to multiple System Area’s each representing different grouping perspective.
System Component
A logical part of a system
Computer Service
A service provided by software which is accessible for the users. A service is used when it is the purpose or gain of the software that is important and not the software itself.
