Dividing the Data Warehouse into Primary Business Categories
This topic describes the division of the logical schema into primary business categories. Each category contains a group of related classes used for a common business purpose. Out of the box, these business purposes correspond with each Commerce Server 2002 feature, such as Marketing, Profiling, Catalog, Predictor, and so on. Some classes serve in more than one category.
In each of the subtopics, the diagrams depicting the business categories show how the classes relate to one another through parent-child associations, or relations. Arrows connecting the classes denote these class relations. The arrows point from the parent classes to the child classes. A solid black arrow denotes a one-to-many relation. A solid black arrow with arrows on both ends denotes a many-to-many relation. For more information about relations, see Describing Data Warehouse Logical Relations.
