Application Data Models
Every environmental application has a “native” data model.
- Native to the domain or application scope
- Optimized for the application
- Limited to only the data elements used within its abstraction of the environment
- Has a specific representation of environmental elements
Application data models are derived based on the purpose of the application such as:
- To drive down the road
- To simulate an aircraft
- To find closest fishing spot
- To design a vehicle
