The short version

The two sentences an employee would actually use.

The part

What it is

Written for speech, in ordinary language, with no jargon that would require a follow-up explanation.

It has to be something a person would be comfortable saying out loud, which rules out most marketing copy.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
