Example
A data model consists of the entity types A, B, C (all with data elements), and D (without data elements) with the following relationships:
A to D: leading
B to D: referencing
C to D: qualifying
Furthermore, the attributes A1, A2, and A3 are defined for entity type D.
In this case, entity type D has the following fields: A, B, C, A1, A2, and A3; whereas, A and C define the logical key and A1, A2, A3 and B represent resolved attributes
Only the fields A, B, and C are assigned to entity types A, B, and C, respectively, whereas these fields define the respective logical key.
