Term: Model

In an InfoGrid context, the term Model is used similarly to how UML or entity-relationship modeling uses it. It could also be called a conceptual schema, or ontology.

An InfoGrid Model primarily consists of:

• EntityTypes, which in turn define PropertyTypes.
• RelationshipTypes, which in turn define RoleTypes.

They are arranged in SubjectAreas.

By default, InfoGrid Models use the model definition file format.

• Module, which sounds similar but is something else entirely
• SubjectArea.
