BUILDING BLOCK - Physical Data Entity

Description	Abstract Concept A Physical Data Entity is a representation the physical structure of a Data Entity as it will be stored in a DBMS. A Physical Data Entity has an independent existence and can be uniquely identified. A Physical Data Entity is characterized by Physical Relationships it has with other Physical Data Entity(ies) and by Physical Data Property(ies).

Block Member	[*..0]	Building Block	Aggregate Block	A Block Member is an Aggregate Member that aggregates its releated Building Block by reference (see Referencing Relationship).Block Members are used to build network structures of Building Blocks while Hierarchical Members are used to build hierarchical structures of Building Blocks.
