The change

What was changed at the collection point.

The part

What it is

Validation, a constrained list, a required field, or removing the field entirely where it is never entered correctly.

The last is underused and is frequently the right answer.

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.
