What gets reported · The purpose · Element

The reason

Why it was created.

The part

What it is

The decision or obligation it was meant to serve. Where neither still exists, the report has outlived its purpose.

Regulatory reports are the exception and should be marked, since they cannot be retired on usage grounds.

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.
