1.1 Introduction
This specification is submitted in response to: “Information Models for Property and Casualty Insurance RFP”
(XXXX Document finance/07-06-07).

1.2 Submission Overview

This submission responds to a request for proposals from the Object Management Group (XXXX) for
'Information Models' to address the data management needs of the Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance
community. This submission uses XXXX's Model Driven Architecture principles and related standards
(http://www.XXXX.org/mda/). Also, this submission uses existing P&C industry standards (e.g., IBM's IAA)
as a source for the proposed P&C Business Glossary and associated models. Both points satisfy requirements
found in the XXXX's Request for Proposals (RFP) for a P&C industry standard data model.

The scope for this initiative includes the U.S. P&C marketplace for claims data and policy data. In addition
data which transcends or is common to these two areas have been incorporated into a core or reference model,
e.g. name, address.

This submission does not include initial submission models incorporating billing, agency, reinsurance or other
functions within the insurance value chain. These are to be addressed in subsequent releases

1.3 Contributing Organizations and Individuals

1.4 Resolution of RFP Requirement and Requests

The following outlines the requirements as depicted in the XXXX RFP, “Information Models for Property and
Casualty Insurance”, dated June 6, 2007. Each of the referenced standards below lists the original paragraph
number from the RFP in brackets. The requirements are printed in bold Times-Roman type. Following each
requirement is a response of how the requirement is satisfied by this specification. The response is in Arial type.

{6.1.2/6.5.1} Glossary of Business Terms as described in 6.1.2 e.g.

Submitters are urged to not only submit a standard Glossary of P&C Business Terms but also the ability to
accommodate valid variations. Business terms must be defined in English.

The following metadata associated with each Business Term must also be provided:

 Format
 Source (data, version)

Relationships between terms must be defined, such as:

 Generalizations/specifications
 Synonyms/aliases
 Related terms

This specification defines the basic business terms and entities used for conducting business from a
reference/core, policy and claims perspective for the P&C insurance industry. These terms were
compiled and defined through available industry (insurance) dictionaries, Subject Mater Experts (SMEs)
and donated industry artifacts, e.g. IBM; IAA Business Glossary.

These sources were the basic sources for data definition and relationship identification.

This standard business glossary of P&C terms was used to develop the conceptual model (CDM). The
business glossary allowed for the identification and grouping of subject areas such that the same subject
area names across the models to assist traceability.

{6.1.3/6.5.2} Submitters must provide a P&C Conceptual Data Model as described in 6.1.3. A Conceptual
Data Model (CDM) representing P&C business concepts with a target audience of business SMEs, data
modelers and business analysts.

The CDM shall consist of business Entities and Relationships.

Each shall be mapped to one or more Terms in the Business Glossary.

The CDM shall be represented using either UML or the CWMX Entity Relationship metamodel.

The CDM shall be visualized using one or more of the following notations: UML, IDEFIX, IE, ORM

This specification is a visual depiction of business concepts and their relationships at a high level. It
describes “things” that matter to the business. “Party buys a “Policy” that can be an Auto policy, Home
policy are examples. The P&C CDM was and must be developed using the standard P&C business
glossary.

Page 3
{6.1.4/6.5.1} A fully attributed Logical (ER) Data Model with appropriate identifiers, logical data types and
relationships as described in 6.1.4.

The LDM shall consist of Entities, Attributes, Relationships and Subject Areas.

Each shall be mapped to one or more Terms in the Business Glossary.

The LDM shall be represented using the CWMX Entity Relationship metamodel.

The LDM shall be visualized using one or more of the following notations: IDEFIX, IE.

This specification was developed further refining the CDM by identifying Attributes that are pertinent to a
business concept represented as an “Entity” (‘Policy’ for example). It captures additional details about the
“Policy” including unique ways to identify a “Policy” as well as details of how a “Policy” may be related to
other business concepts like “Party”. The LDM is derived from the CDM and is platform independent.

{6.1.2/6.1.6} Submitters may provide a P&C Dimensional Model (aka Star Schema) that consists of “Fact”
Tables and “Dimensions” as described in 6.1.6.

The dimensional model may be expressed using the CWM OLAP and Relational metamodels.

Each element may be mapped to one or more elements in the LDM

It may be visualized using one or more of the following notations: IDEFIX, IE.

The Dimensional Model may also be provided as a non-normative SQL Data Definition Language file.

A list of Fact Tables other than those described in section 6.1.6 for the Dimensional/ Analytical model is an
optional requirement.

The chart below represents a recap of the mandatory requirements as depicted in the original “Information Models
for Property and Casualty Insurance” RFP Section 6.5 and outlined above. The chart references the outlined
mandatory deliverables, the page number from the original RFP describing this mandatory requirement and if this
submission the section and page where this mandatory requirement can be found in this submission document.

1.5 Benefits

1.5.1 Introduction

Industry surveys, research papers, and industry publications report that most organizations today either have
implemented or are beginning data integration or data conversion efforts. Data is viewed, especially in the insurance
industry, as a strategic asset. There is a push for organizations to embrace and use Service Oriented Architecture
(SOA) for the rapid development and deployment of IT systems. The foundation of SOA is standardized business
processes based on standardized data. There is a lack of standardized data across the insurance industry, even
though all insurance companies employ many of the same concepts (Party, Location, Transaction, etc.) This lack of
standards hampers the development of SOA initiatives for the insurance industry, and contributes to the difficulty of
rationalizing data across companies for industry-level comparisons.

The common, inherent complexities of the property and casualty insurance industry can make modeling a very
difficult endeavor for those companies whose size does not support a large and dedicated data modeling / data
management staff. Having the opportunity to leverage an industry standard model can accelerate these companies’
development of a data management approach to application development and information sharing.

An enterprise data model helps establish a common framework and language within an organization and across the
industry, improving communications and expediting the development, integration and enhancement of applications
and their quality. In addition, having a common framework and language within the industry improves
communication across partner organizations, and ultimately saves time and money by eliminating the need to build
and use “translators” across all communicating parties. A standard data dictionary and data model is the basis of
this communication that also allows organizations to control and track the language of data (meta data).

1.5.2 Benefits of an Industry Standard Data Model

Industry standard models that have been developed by industry participants provide many tangible and strategic
benefits over models developed by individual vendors, including:

1. Accurate and common representation and exchange of information and internal and external business rules,
based on accepted knowledge of industry concepts.

2. Consistency across applications and improved accuracy of information, providing users with repeatable,
reliable results and a higher level of data quality. These benefits enable the development of Service
Oriented Architectures (SOA) and to standardization for terms and meanings (meta data).

3. Reduced data redundancies and increased data sharing, making the application development process more
efficient and faster

Page 5
 4. Information sharing across multiple vendor products thereby facilitating interoperability and flexibility of
choice. Also, standard models provide for more rapid access to data and commonly used definitions and
other meta data.

5. Fewer redundant applications and reduced development of needless interdependent processes, thereby
preventing efforts to build multiple interfaces/translators. Benefits include more efficient processing for
new business approaches or data requests.

6. Fewer redundant data stores since the use of a standard model provides a single source of validated data
across the organization.

7. Increased resiliency to platform changes by having the flexibility to deploy the same model on a new
platform of choice with minimal change(s). This benefit enables flexibility in integrating operations from a
merger or acquisition (M&A); also this capability provides the opportunity to allow work to be done by
outside resources (operational outsourcing).

8. More efficient and smaller investment in time for educating new design and development staff or
consultants.

9. Even when not applied it its entirety, a standard model can facilitate or serve as a reference for any data
modeling / application development or enhancement effort.

10. An industry standard, open-source data model provides a more efficient, low-cost solution versus
purchased industry models that are proprietary to a vendor or dependent upon a particular technical
solution.

1.5.3 Using an Industry Standard Data Model

Once an organization has chosen to adopt an industry standard data model, how could they use it? There are many
ways to leverage the benefits of using an industry standard enterprise data model, including:

1. Use the standard model as the organization’s enterprise model, either in its current form or with appropriate
organization-specific modifications. This will reduce the amount of time needed to construct an
organization’s enterprise data model significantly.

2. Use the industry standard data model to identify omissions (gaps) in the organization’s existing enterprise
data model. Doing so will enable refinement of the organization’s enterprise data model, improving its
usability across the organization.

3. Use the standard model’s data definitions and terms as the basis for an organization-specific data
dictionary, or adopt the standard model’s definitions without changes. This will enable the development of
a common vocabulary for the organization, based on industry standard terms and definitions, thereby

Page 6
 reducing confusion across business units. It also contributes to the development of a robust data
governance and stewardship program, by giving the stewards the foundation for their efforts.

4. Use all the meta data provided in the industry standard data model as the basis for the organization’s meta
data management approach and as the foundation for building the organization’s meta data repository.
Using the meta data from the industry standard data model will facilitate the rapid development of a meta
data management program that enables more effective data integration and conversion.

5. Use the standard model’s dimensional model as the basis for the organization’s dimensional model for data
warehousing. Developing an organization-specific dimensional data model requires significant time and
experience, and presupposes that an atomic level enterprise model exists. Using the industry standard data
model as the foundation for the dimensional model significantly reduces the time needed for this activity.

6. Use the conceptual data model entities as the basis for establishing the organization’s master data
management (MDM) categories and content. Use the logical data model’s attributes to refine the actual
master data elements for the organization’s MDM facility. Effective master data management requires the
implementation of an enterprise data model (standard or specific) and leveraging an industry standard data
model can reduce the time needed to identify the MDM classes and attributes significantly.

7. Use the standard model as a reference for any data modeling / application development or enhancement
effort, whether the organization is using SOA or not. Data integration, as a result of company mergers or
conversion from legacy applications is a data-intensive effort. Having the reference capabilities of an
industry model can facilitate data integration and conversion from both internal and external sources by
providing an orientation for translating one application’s data to another application. Also, if the
organization has adopted an SOA approach to data integration and manipulation, standardizing the data
through the implementation of an enterprise data model will enable SOA with fewer challenges than if
attempted without standardized data.

1.5.4 Conclusion

The Object Management Group (XXXX) has developed a property-casualty insurance enterprise data model; it
was created by representatives from many carriers using experts in each subject area. This model can provide
all of the benefits listed above, and can be used in all the ways listed here. Some organizations have begun to
use it successfully, and others are exploring the incorporation of this industry standard enterprise data model
into their data management programs.

1.6 Proof of Concept
Below are several testimonials /value propositions concerning the use of the available artifacts today:

1.6.1 Penn National XXXX Value Proposition

At Penn National Insurance, we've recently began a project to globalize our customer data among various disparate,
internal systems; each of them generating their own unique customer ID's. At the beginning of the project, we spent

a full week attempting to develop a data model for our centralized customer information. Needless to say, we didn't
get very far after a full week. Each of the team members had their own idea of how the data model should look
(which is often what happens from company to company without a standard model in place). After looking at the
XXXX model, we scrapped our original design and decided to use the XXXX data model as a template for building
our customer data repository. We studied the model to see what pieces we could incorporate now to satisfy our
requirements without deviating from the XXXX Model. Thus, we decided to use the "Party" object (and all
associated child nodes) for our client data. In doing this, we saved at least 6 weeks of design time. In addition, the
XXXX model prevented us from "reinventing the wheel". As we move forward expanding the scope of our project,
we will continue to utilize the XXXX Model as a basis (template) and will only deviate when our business requires
it.

1.6.2 Harleysville Insurance Company XXXX Value

Proposition

At Harleysville Insurance we are looking at this industry specific data model as an enterprise level reference tool.
The gatekeepers of this information will be the Business Information Systems team, who is responsible for overall
business intelligence applications, data modeling, data quality and metadata management. Our primary usage will
in populating the enterprise metadata repository, especially with business definitions of data elements a definitive

Page 8
one doesn't exist internally. The glossary information from this model will be used to stimulate discussion with
business information consumers.
From a data model development perspective, this model will serve as a starting point for new initiatives by
providing a starting point that fits the P&C business model. It will also be used as a "sounding board" for
existing data models to ascertain completeness and applicability for the business.

James Danner
Harleysville Insurance Company

1.6.3 Major International Insurance Carrier XXXX Value

Proposition
The data model will become a reference point from which we can develop a logical enterprise view of our
organization without going through the pain points associated with starting from a blank sheet. It will serve as a
basis for many of our smaller data base initiatives as well as provide us with a basis for our Metadata and Master
Data Management initiatives which are just getting underway. It can also serve as a conduit to enhance the
communication between the varied business units within our organization through the use of standardized
framework and language within our organization.

Glossary and associated models. Both points satisfy requirements found in the XXXX's Request for Proposals
(RFP) for a P&C industry standard data model.

The scope for this initiative includes the U.S.P&C marketplace data for the core Party, Policy and Claims
Subject Areas. Additional data models have been included to sub-types and roles and to further describe the
major entity concepts of Accounts and Agreements, Assessments, Events, and Money.

This submission does not include initial submission models incorporating billing, agency, reinsurance or other
functions within the insurance value chain. These are to be addressed in subsequent XXXX specification.

2.2 Conformance

Many organizations of varying types may desire to use the P&C Data Model in varying ways. We encourage all
interested organizations (carriers, vendors, consultancies, agencies, etc.) to explore ways to use this model to its best
advantage. However, for an organization to be considered to have implemented this model in conformance with the
XXXX standard, the following conceptual major data entities must be implemented exactly as represented in this
submission document. All other entities can be extended or collapsed as the organization’s needs dictate.

2.3 Data Model Guidelines and Standards
The following section contains proposed conceptual and logical (to physical) data modeling practices.

2.3.1 Purpose of Data Models

We develop logical data models because of what data models represent and what they should achieve:

 Business rules about data

 A means of graphically depicting how data can be shared and stored non-redundantly
 A way of defining data requirements in accordance with a set of rules and common methodology
 A picture of the business data that is technology-independent and in business terms
 Means of defining and certifying business data requirements
 Provides the data structure definition for a project.
 THE integrator for all data sharing, master data, and data warehouse efforts
 Framework and methodology for managing data integrity
 Specification for the meaning of the data elements, structures, relationships, technical names and data types
 Basis for database design

2.3.2 Types of Data Models

 Business or Conceptual Data Model

A conceptual data model is a high-level data model identifying major entities and relationships of
importance to the business. It does not resolve “many-to-many relationships, may not contain any
attributes, and may not be “normalized”. It is like a roadmap to more detailed logical models and enables
all users of detail models to quickly grasp the scope, terminology and concepts used in the model.

 Logical Data Model

A logical data model contains the full definition of the entities, attributes, and relationships needed to
satisfy the business and technical requirements for data within the scope of the effort begin undertaken. It
represents the business meaning and rules for the data independent of technical considerations such as
software, hardware, or performance.

 Physical Data Model

A physical data model should be the physical representation of the logical data model, with any added
physical constructs necessary to build databases. The physical data model defines the tables (from entities),
columns (from attributes), and keys, foreign keys, and constraints (from relationships) and indexes
necessary to find and retrieve data.

A physical data model may also be “reverse engineered” from an existing database in order to describe and
understand the database in a meaningful pictorial representation.

Page 12
 Dimensional Data Model
A dimensional data model is a specialized data model that is designed to facilitate analytics. It has a
limited scoped of data usually focused on a business or client function, and represents the data in “fact” and
“dimension” tables. While it is considered a “physical only” model, the logical version of this with
business terms and definitions is the recommended practice. The kinds of terms, systems, and designs that
are associated with dimensional models include data marts, star schema, snowflake schema, and business
intelligence.

 Vendor Product Data Models

Vendor products do have underlying data models that should be requested for review if a vendor product is
being used to fulfill a business need. If a vendor product is going to be used, it is highly recommended that
at least a conceptual data model (and ideally a fully attributed logical data model) be constructed to
represent the business data requirements. Then the requirements data model can be compared to the
vendor’s data model and a true assessment of the vendor data management can be made.

 Enterprise
An enterprise data model is a high level conceptual, and evolutionary logical, data model that represents a
concept of all the major business entities and relationships. It can therefore be used for strategic planning,
and for determining the scope, content, and interrelationships of specific tactical solutions.

An enterprise data model does not take three years to develop, as was the case with previous efforts. It can
be done with a group of business people over the course of a month on a part-time basis. It is highly
recommended as a roadmap for information excellence.

 Operational
Operational data models are designed to support operational systems which usually have specific and
relatively stable requirements if the scope is properly defined. These are usually event or transaction
systems handling high volumes. A detailed relational model with a lower level of abstraction is desirable
for this type of data model.

 Data Warehouse
Data warehouses have continually evolving requirements and can therefore be requirements-generalized.
Flexibility is the key, and therefore a more highly abstracted, highly normalized, relational data model is
desirable.

 Data Mart
A data mart is an information resource designed to meet the needs of a set of functional reports and
analysis. A dimensional data model is normally used to support these. The dimensions for the mart should
come from common data stores (reference or metadata) and the fact data should come from the relational
business data or from derivation rules used in the transformation to the data mart.

Page 13
 If there is no relational data warehouse to source the data mart, then some operational data store or staging
area is needed. The latter should be modeled and defined as a relational data model.

2.3.3 Naming Practices

Below are the practices to be followed for all data naming needs. This includes all data model objects and metadata
formats.

1. Generally speaking, there are “business names” and “technical names” for data objects.
 Business names are used in all conceptual and logical level objects
 Technical names are used only for physical objects and are generated by algorithm from the
corresponding logical object (when there is one).

2. Business names are fully spelled out English names with no delimiters and are Title Case (e.g.
“Transaction Effective Date”)

3. Technical names can be of 2 types:

 Abbreviated names for any technology that does not permit full names of at least 80 characters
throughout. Abbreviation standards are further discussed below.
 Composite English Names with no spaces (e.g. “TransactionEffectiveDate”)

4. Name is always singular.

5. Names are nouns and adjectives and do not (usually) contain possessives, articles, conjunctions, verbs, or
prepositions.
 Do not use organization names, business process names, or project names when naming data objects.
These are subject to change and the need for data usually outlives organization and process.
 Use names that have general business context and meaning and it necessary, use generic business
function names for context.

6. The terms to be used for data names are the commonly-used, understood, and simple business names.
Every business word that is used should be defined in a business "glossary of terms" and every term must
be defined with all business interpretation variations explained. The terms should be considered in view of
the entire enterprise and not just that of a single company or department.

7. When business names are used very inconsistently or if there is no common business term to describe what
is needed, a new term can be defined. If this is done, a glossary of terms and the data element definition
must clearly explain the term.

Page 14
2.3.4 Data Model Definition Practices

This section provides the standards and guidelines for defining data models.

These practices apply to all model types and to all methodologies.

1. Model Template Usage

 These standards are used to define data model templates in the data modeling tool, and that assists in
using the standard practices.

2. Model Naming
 Models are ideally named for what they are intended to represent and serve, such as business function,
and not for the project acronym or name.
 Models have a complete definition that defines their scope and intent
 Model Names adhere to all the above standards and also include:
 Versions of models must be maintained as part of the name – see below

3. Subject Area Definition

 Subject Areas are usually business subjects that help to keep like objects together.
 Generally, there should be no more than 15 to 20 entities in a subject area
 The above being impossible sometimes, there can be one conceptual type model for a subject area and
multiple sub-models within the major Subject Areas.
 It’s very important to show how entities outside the Subject Area are related to each Subject Area.
This is shown is the Conceptual model and each Logical model subject area should show the
connecting entity to adjacent subject areas.
 There should be no unconnected objects within a subject area.

4. Model Diagram Types and Naming

 Model Diagrams are what they say – layouts of models. Because conceptual, logical, and physical
models use varying “real estate”, it is better to maintain various layouts for these. Also, maintaining a
layout for entity definition only versus a fully attributed model layout will provide ease of publication
and maintenance. So, common model diagram labels will be:
 Conceptual
 Entity
 Logical
 Physical
 Dimensional

5. Conceptual Data Model

 These should be used to demonstrated the business meaning of the model and the scope, depth, and
breadth of the model that provide business capability
 The technical correctness of the model is less important than the business “story”
 Embellish these with extra text, color and abstractions.
 A high level model should fit on one page or panel
 Despite the high level, full definition is absolutely essential and this should become part of the project
deliverables.

Page 15
  A good conceptual model speaks to the competence of the developers and inspires confidence of the
sponsors and business partners.
 A conceptual model should always be the beginning “data picture” for any information initiative. This
is the basis of validating initial concepts and requirements.

6. Logical Data Model

 The logical model is a detail representation of the data requirements for the scope of the model.
 All artifacts in the logical data model are fully defined and annotated with examples in the definition
 See below for practices of defining the subject areas, entities, attributes, domains, and relationships for
the logical (and physical) data models.
 Depending on the application of the model, the logical model may be highly abstracted or not
abstracted; it may be requirements-specific or requirements-generalized; it may be highly normalized
vs. lightly normalized; it may be subject oriented vs. function oriented.

7. Dimensional Data Model

 The Dimensional Data Model is a specialized physical data model to facilitate multi-dimensional
analysis (OLAP) in data marts.
 Like other physical data models, this is a technology-specific representation of the logical data model
and is suitable for DBMS and OLAP tool implementation.
 Although often thought of as a physical-only model, the dimensional data model should also emanate
directly from a corresponding logical data model.
 The underlying logical data model should have, as part of its definition, the derivation rules for the
generation of the dimensional schema.

8. Change Management
 Prior to the first official release of each type of model, changes are tracked as needed internally by the
project team to enable effective coordination
 After a model has been “released” (shown to anyone outside the development group, or used for any
testing, etc.), changes need to be formally tracked.
 Changes should be described and tracked within the data modeling tool and published to the work
group and any other impacted persons and organizations.
 Changes that are made after production implementation need to be incorporated into the life cycle and
change management processes for the enterprise.
 The exact practices for integrating model development and changes into the life cycle management
process will be developed.

9. Retention of History and Changes

 A history of data model changes and rationale can be kept in the data modeling tool.
 Practices for using this capability and integrating this with life cycle management need to be
developed.

Page 16
2.3.5 Data Model Object Definition Practices

This section provides the norms for defining each of the data model objects. For each of the defined objects, a full
business-oriented definition is needed and is defined in the data model. For major business terms, a reference to a
Glossary should be included.

1. Entity Definition
 An Entity represents a person, organization, place, thing, or concept of interest to the enterprise
 An Entity can represent a very broad and varied set of instance data, or it can be very specific (e.g.
Party vs. Vendor, Associate, Contact, Customer, etc, etc). This is referred to as levels of
abstraction.

2. Subtype Definition
 Subtypes are very useful for showing the types of data that are represented in a more generic
entity. For example, in the party model, there could be subtypes to show the types of parties that
are encompassed and the data that may be unique to each type of party.
 Subtypes can also show the business rules about which of the subtypes are mutually exclusive vs.
overlapping. For example, and employee may also be a customer, but a vendor and an employee
may be mutually exclusive.
 Subtypes may be used in the logical model for the above purpose but not implemented in the
physical model.

3. Attribute Definition
 Attributes are usually defined within an entity by first naming the logical business keys and
identifying them as such. These become the primary key for the entity.
 Attributes can be named generically within the context of an entity, that is, the Entity Name need
not be added to the Attribute Name, with the possible exception of the primary key. For example,
consider the following:

Contact Associate
Contact ID Associate ID
Name Name
Routing Description Routing Description
Phone Number Position ID
E-Mail Address Office Phone Number
Mobile Phone Number
E-Mail Address

 The Attributes above the line are Primary Key attributes (see below). The other attributes are non-
identifying attributes. Name, Routing Description, and E-Mail Address are common to both of
them. It is clear that Name in Contact is the Contact Name and Name in Associate is the
Associate Name and it is not necessary to further qualify it.

Page 17
 4. Data Element Definition
 A data element is a fact of importance to the business, regardless of where it resides or what it is
describing. For example, Country Code is a data element that can be defined outside of the
context of any entity. It can and should have a common and standard set of values that are used by
the enterprise. When Country Code is used as an attribute of a specific company’s location, there
would be a small subset of Country values allowed for this purpose. So there can be common
reference entities for data elements and subsets of these for attributes.
 So, an attribute is a description of something and is using a data element in the context of some
entity.
 Data elements often surface in data models as “Code” or “Reference” lists or tables, where all the
valid values, or “domains” are specified and described. These may also be managed as “master
data”

5. Domain Definition
 As stated above in Definitions. a domain is a theoretical or actual set of all possible values for an
attribute or data element. The domain may be a set of common code values, a theoretical set of all
possible valid Gregorian dates, a First Name that is standardized at 40 characters regardless of
where it is used.
 Domains provide consistency of properties for data elements and attributes that have the same
logical “domain” of values.
 Every attribute in a data model is connected to a domain that provides for consistent names, data
types, lengths, value sets, and validity rules.
 A domain can be thought of at the data element level as a means of conforming all the attribute
implementations of that data element.

6. Class Words for Attributes. Data Elements, Domains

 All attribute and data element (see below) names end in a standard “class word” that identifies the
kind of attribute being defined. Below is a table showing all the class words to be used, with an
addendum showing other candidate class words and the rationale not to be used.
 Class Word Abbreviations are also provided. They are used when migrating logical data model
items to physical form. Physical Data models are implemented using Data Base Management
System technologies that may limit the number of characters for names and may not permit full
names of at least 80 characters throughout. Class word abbreviations ensure naming consistency
in physical models.
 The rationale for this is not only consistency, but the flexibility of providing for families of data
names (such as Client Name, Client Address, Client Race Code, Client Birth Date, etc.) and the
understanding it facilitates (as to what to expect to find in this data element).
 In the table below, the commonly used business class words are in bold blue, and the less used and
technical class words are in black.

Standard Class Words

Class Word
Class Word Abbreviation Definition

Count CT Use for an enumeration of items and in lieu of "Number of". Is the number of
objects or occurrences.

Date DT Full Year, Month, and Day content

Page 18
DateTime DTM Full specification of date and time to the maximum precision (at least
nanosecond) allowed in the DBMS being used. Do not use for business data -
use when system-assigned time sequence is needed.

Description DSC All descriptive free-form text.

Factor FCTR A multiplier based on unity (1) used to index a base number.

Flag FLG A technical implementation of an indicator that may be used for efficiency.
Values are 0 or 1 only where 0 = No or Off and 1 = Yes or On.

Identifier ID A sole unique Identity for an object or entity that is independent of every other
object. (can stand on its own to identify an object).

Indicator IND Use only for data that can be defined as Yes, No, or Not Applicable (null),
Name must specify the meaning of the yes and no.

Name NM Use for labels of objects - usually a short, "displayable" recognition assist.

See description for longer text items.

Number NO Identifying a relative item that is unique only within another major category,
usually an ID; or to state a number that is not a count or quantity, for example
Age Number

Percent PCT A ratio of two base numbers expressed as a percentage. Use term Percent, not
Percentage, for the business name.

Quantity QTY Storing various measures of quantities from very small to very large and with
varying degrees of precision, for example, Dispensed Quantity

Rate RT A multiplier per specified unit, such as Service Unit Daily Rate

Series SRS Use for a repeating group of the same data element. For example, Contact
Preference Series consists of repeating locality types, such as Home, Office,
Roam, Secondary Residence.

Set SET Use for a group name of a structured set of data or decomposable taxonomy.
For example, SIC (Standard Industry Classification) Set where first two
positions are Industry Group and last two are Specific Industry.

Time TM Specifying the hour, minute, and second

Value VLU Used when cell content can be anything, (for example, in a metadata store,
defining "Cell Value"). If used, there needs to be an interpretive attribute to
describe the actual data type.

Page 20
 7. Relationship Definition

 Relationships are the verb or verb phrase that link two entities together.
 This is used to form a sentence between the entity that is the “one” side of the relationship and entity
that is the “many” side of the relationship; e.g. An account groups zero, one, or many policies
 Every relationship in the model must have a defined relationship.
 Relationships can be defined in both directions, but only the one to many is recommended.
 A subtype automatically has a relationship of “is a” (e.g. Party is a Person)

2.3.6 Standard Abbreviations

1. Abbreviations are used only for physical and dimensional data models (later, some abbreviation norms for
display may provide for abbreviations)

2. Each word is abbreviated by using the initial standard list. This is in a standard naming naming file

3. All technical names are derived automatically from the standard naming file.
4. The general rules for forming abbreviations for single words are:
 First letter of abbreviation is first letter of word (consonant or vowel)
 Subsequent letters of abbreviation are the consonants of the word
 Only one of a double consonant is used (e.g. middle="mdl")
 A maximum of 5 characters are used to abbreviate a single word
 The last letter of the abbreviation can be a vowel is that is prominent in the pronunciation of the word
(e.g. value = "vlu")
 The resulting abbreviation must be unique to one base word
 Word endings for tense, verb forms, plural (etc.) do not yield separate abbreviations (e.g. Service,
Servicing, and Serviced are all abbreviated as "SRVC".

5. The general rules for forming abbreviations for object names are:
 Abbreviation is all upper case
 The word abbreviation components are separated by an underscore or hyphen as the technology in use
requires (e.g. ITM_UNT_PRC)
 The total length of an abbreviated name may be limited by the technology being used. Use the most
restrictive length of all technologies used by an application to determine the maximum length of an
abbreviated data name or standardize at a max of 25
 For data elements (and some other construct names), the last word is always a "Class Word" and that is
never dropped from the abbreviated name. See above table of class words.
 When length problems occur, proceed to the compound word abbreviation suggestions to shorten the
overall abbreviation.
 When length problems occur, consider whether a word can be omitted from the abbreviation without
losing much meaning or uniqueness.
 Never allow a technical tool to truncate an abbreviated name that is too long. - use the alternate
suggestions instead to comprise an abbreviation that has integrity.

6. Exceptions to the above are as follows;

Page 21
 If a common usage abbreviation exists, use it (e.g., Organization = "ORG", Management =
"MGT", etc.)
 HOWEVER:
 Don’t overdue the overrides to the rules as it will make it more difficult for people to use
the standard abbreviation names
 Resist the temptation to assume that everyone abbreviates some terms the same way. For
example, LOC may seem obvious for Location until you learn that this is Level of Care
for in some business world. Go with the common standard and as people adapt to it, the
real names will be more intuitive.
 If the word is very short and the abbreviation could be confusing, use a vowel to distinguish based
on the pronunciation of the word (e.g. Role = "rol", Rule = "rul" versus both would be "rl"; also
Date = "dt" because of common use, while Data is "dat"
 Multiple Words and Phrases:
 If a common discipline or business acronym applies, use it (e.g. Return on Investment =
“ROI”)
 If there are common business phrases or acronyms, then use the acronym or one
abbreviation for the compound term or phrase (e.g. Employer Identification Number =
“EIN”; Dun & Bradstreet Number = “DUNS”).
 As noted in the Business Data Naming, organization names and specific system or process names
should not be used in data names.
 The components of the abbreviated name follow the standards for business naming, and therefore
progress from general to specific. Data elements end with a "class word" and so the abbreviations
will follow that pattern.

Part Three

3.1 Specification
These deliverables represent thirteen (13) logical data models for the major lines of Property and Casualty
business in the United States geographic territory, leading off with a conceptual data model to serve as a
reference or core model representing common data entities transcending all or most P&C insurance business
processes (e.g., party, claim, geographic location, insurable object, etc.).

Page 34
 3.1.1 Conceptual Data Model

As stated above in the standards section, a conceptual data model is a high-level data model that identifies major
entities and relationships of importance to the business. It does not resolve “many-to-many relationships, may not
contain any attributes, and may not be “normalized”. It is like a roadmap to more detailed logical models and
enables all users of detail models to quickly grasp the scope, terminology and concepts used in the model.

The Property and Casualty Conceptual Data Model below is an example of the above norms. It presents the major
objects (entities) and their relationships and represents the major concepts of the business and of the succeeding
Logical Data Model.

The Legend in the model diagram demonstrates the use of color to highlight the major entities and concepts.

The major features of the Conceptual Data Model are:

 Party is a major entity that relates to almost all the other major entities as it defines how people,
organizations, and groups are involved in the insurance and financial services business involving
agreements, policies, claims, insurable objects, etc. With the use of party, many other data requirements
can be made common and managed more efficiently.

o The Communication entity permits all contact information and preferences to be established for all
types of parties
o Geographic Locations can be defined and connected to Party and to other entities.
o “Insurable Objects” can be defined with respect to their interested parties and referenced by
multiple agreements

 Agreement is a focal point for the data model because it is a “Supertype” for all insurance, financial, and
service contracts. Examples of agreements for this initial data model are Policy and Reinsurance
Agreement.

 Policy is the major feature for this release of the data model as all the remaining major objects are related to
it.

o Policy Coverage Detail is a key link among Policy, Claim, and Reinsurance
o Claim is tied to Policy though Policy Coverage Detail
o Policy ties to Coverage and Product

 Claim is tied to Party, Insurable Object, Policy Coverage Detail, and Reinsurance.

 Money is a common entity at the conceptual level to emphasis the importance of common management of
financial amounts. In the Logical Data Model, Money s defined in Policy Amount and Claim Amount
entities.

 Product, Coverage, and Location Address are examples of the “master” reference data that can improve the
integrity of data and which companies can populate with their data.

Page 35
  Finally, the model is bound together with time management, traceabillty, and metadata using common
constructs for Event and Activity and additional Reference and Master data.

3.1.2 Party Subject Area Model

The Party Subject Area shows that all persons, organizations, and groups can be represented as "parties" and parties
can then be related to other major objects with specified roles.  The Party design also provides for a common
approach to describing communication identifiers, relationships between parties, and legal identifiers. Examples of
the use of the party types is also shown.
