    &lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-language: HE&quot;>A Fact Model represents structured business vocabulary with true statement like: A&#xD;
    customer places an order. The fact model looks like the Object Role Model described by Halpin (2001). When the model&#xD;
    starts to grow the notation become quickly invisible and no more helpful, so we do not encourage to follow this&#xD;
    notation.&lt;/span> We prefer using UML class diagram showing just the entities, the associations and may be some&#xD;
    characteristic as attributes of class.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&lt;br />&#xD;

    (atomic) fact type:&lt;/span>&#xD;
