OSTRPT Order Status Report Message - Eurofer

UN/EDIFACT D97.A OSTRPT - Order status report message
1. DATA MODEL
1.1 Data Model Format
The data model has been created, to make it possible for potential users to understand the
Eurofer subset for the Order status report message. The data model provides the following
information :
- contents of the information (data elements) that can occur in the messages,
- relationships between the different data elements,
- grouping of the data elements within the data entities,
- and the relationship between data entities.
To simplify the understanding of the data model, the model is defined at a summary level,
specifying when necessary a group of data elements instead of each data element.
The data model consists of data entities, the relationships between those data entities and the
attributes (data elements) in each data entity.
An entity specifies an object against which information is held; it has a name, a description
and attributes.
An attribute describes a unique characteristic (information which can appear on the order
sheet); it has a name, a description and a value.
The relationships of the data entities within the data model are reflected in the structure of
the diagram in chapter 1.2.
