A data model is a design for a cabinet of cookie jars
Forrest Gump's mother might have said something like this if she were working in data governance, because...
...a data base is a cabinet of cookie jars
...a table is a cookie jar
...a table space is a shelve in the cabinet
...an object is a cookie
...an entity is a cookie mould
...an attribute is a cookie characteristic
...the number of cookies is the table volume
...an object stored in multiple tables is a broken cookie in multiple jars
...a foreign key between object records is a fracture line of a broken cookie
...a data cleansing tool is Forrest
...a transaction manager is his momLabels: cookie, data governance, data model
