How is the data modeling process different when starting with a purchased solution?
What will be an ideal response?
A packaged data model is quite extensive, so you would begin with the part of the data model that you will use for your situation. You would start first with entities, then attributes and then relationships. The next step is to rename the data elements to terms that are meaningful to your organization. Since the packaged data model may be used to replace an existing system, the next step is to map the packaged model to the current database. This mapping will be used later for data migration. Perhaps the most challenging step is to determine the business rules for the new system.
