                         This page lists a number of Subject Area Data  Models.
 They represent 'stripped-down' Models which contain the basics for a specific application area.
  Subject Area Data  Models are major functional areas within an orgnaisation that can be used to 
 define the scope for smaller Data Models that can be integrated to define a comprehensive 
 Data Model.
 
 They are 'Canonical' Models that can be used as a common point of reference and a way of 
 exchanging data between more detailed Models. 
  
Step-by-Step Tutorials  showing how Subject Areas can be combined as part of a Top-Level Model are available for 
Services for Certification 
and Tracking Shipping
and a smaller one for Gym Management.
  "**John Giles" indicates that John has identified the Data Model as a Design Pattern in his 
'Nimble Elephant' book.
