meta data; metadata

documenting characteristic of a data concept that is provided in a message
NOTE 1 to entry: Documenting characteristics are termed “meta-attributes” when stored in a DD, but are termed metadata when provided within the same message instance as the actual value. For example, a data element may

NOTE 1 to entry: Documenting characteristics are termed “meta-attributes” when stored in a DD, but are termed metadata when provided within the same message instance as the actual value. For example, a data element may
be defined within the DD with a specific unit of measure, such as meters; the Unit of Measure field is a defined meta-attribute. Alternatively, the unit of measure may be defined at runtime within a message, especially for items such as unit of currency. The field within a message that defines the unit of currency for an included value
would be termed “metadata”.

model

representation of an entity from which the important elements have been abstracted by removing unimportant detail while at the same time retaining the interrelationship between the key elements of the whole

representation of an entity from which the important elements have been abstracted by removing unimportant detail while at the same time retaining the interrelationship between the key elements of the whole
NOTE 1 to entry: A model may be made more or less abstract by the successive suppression of detail such that the concepts and relationships come into enhanced focus and become more readily understood. However the process can be taken too far when the simplification has exceeded the threshold where a necessary understanding may be achieved. Thus the process of modelling is one of going only far enough to achieve the optimum understanding and insight — and no further.
NOTE 2 to entry: A model is a way of representing something, other than in its natural state.
