Setting Up Metadata Models

This topic describes how to set up Oracle Intelligent Advisormetadata models and define entity relationships.

Note: Most of the data displayed on the pages within the Policy Modeling menu folder are read-only. In the current release, you do not create or update the definitions such as entity models, metadata models, or enumerations. These definitions are provided for your implementation in the form of delivered seed data. This documentation is provided to describe the visible information related to the policy modeling feature.
