| Dimensional Warehouse Model Data Model |
Description | An entry that records the receiving or sending of a communication between two parties, one of which is typically the modeled organization. A communication may be in any medium such as a telephone call, a letter, a fax, an email, a meeting, and so on. It may have occurred or be planned to occur. In each case, a discrete occurrence of communication is identifiable. Correspondence which takes place over a period of time, it is not a single communication but is modeled as a series of individual related communications. |
