CORRELATION
1. correspondence The conceptual / internal is between the concept and the database stored, specify how records and fields represent concepts at the domestic level. If you change the structure of the database stored must be modified to remain unchanged (DBA). The effects of changes should be isolated below the conceptual level, in order to preserve the independence of the data.
2. correspondence The external / conceptual is that between a given external view and the conceptual view. The differences that may exist between these 2 levels are similar to those that may exist between the conceptual and stored BD. There may be any number of external views, any number of users can share a given exterior view, there may be overlaps between different external views.
Some systems allow you to express the definition of an external view in terms of others through a correspondence external / outside instead of always needing a definition explicit correspondence regarding the conceptual level, which is useful if there is an intimate relationship between several outpatient visits. Relational systems in particular almost always allow this.
