Models

An Information Model is the blueprint that helps businesses organize, define, and understand their data. It’s like a map that shows how all the different parts of a business fit together in terms of data. By creating a clear, consistent structure for information, an information model allows businesses to see the big picture, ensuring that everyone—from engineers to business analysts—understands data the same way.

The purpose of an information model is to ensure that data is organized not by how it exists in systems but by how it’s relevant to the business. It enables smooth communication between teams and ensures data consistency across the board.

In Daana the information model is much more than just a means to document, think of it as the instructions that tell Daana how to process, organize, and relate the data it handles.
