Maintaining business information service and information object consistency
To capture and show the relationships between Business Information Services and Information Objects, you can use one or more of these:
an Information interaction matrix view
adding Information Objects as inputs and outputs in the Business information service definition view
display the Business Information Services and their relationships to Information Objects on a Business information service definition view.
Whilst having multiple modes of data entry provides flexibility it poses the problem of maintaining model consistency; this issue is addressed by providing utilities that automate and maintain consistency in the data. This does not involve multi-directional synchronization, but is to be regarded as maintaining consistency from one particular chosen view and pushing it out to the other views.
