• Scan in the models

• Define rules and process • Conceptual and Logical entity names should match. • There has to be a link between physical table with the logical entity in the application model (as shown in figure)

• Custom work to provide audit reports, dashboards etc. For example: • Find database tables which are based on physical model. • Find physical model entities which are not implemented in the database. • Find missing links/mismatches the enterprise model and application models

• Standard model linker will link model to physical data.

• Custom linker is required to create the link between conceptual and logical/physical models.
