How This Book Describes Relationships Between Objects

An object definition includes properties and a property includes a value. For example, the Business Object property of the Account Address view contains a value of Account. To describe this relationship, this book might state the following: "The Account Address view references the Account business object."

Sometimes the relationship between objects occurs through more than one object. For brevity, this book does not always describe the entire extent of relationships that exists between objects through the entire Siebel Object Hierarchy. For example, because the Account business object references the Account business component, and the Account Address view references the Account business object, this book might state the following: "The Account Address view references the Account business component."
