The benefit

What the customer gets from linking.

The part

What it is

Seeing their history, avoiding re-entry, faster support. Concrete and immediate rather than a general improvement.

Where the honest benefit is only to the organisation, uptake will be low and should be expected to be.

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.
