[LINK] Open Data Models

[brd at iimetro.com.au]

That's software. I'm talking about data models - data definitions, entities,
relationships etc, for specific industries.

In banking, for instance, how do they define a customer? What is the standard
data associated with a customer - name, address, accounts, (types and 
numbers).
What data do they hold on an account - transactions, owner, type, restrictions
on opening one, who can operate it, get statements etc.?
