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