It is a critical foundation for the system models that describe the supporting software architecture and allows for easy trace-ability and impact assessments of business to system and system to business. Using the simple approach described in this article will allow the business modeller to rapidly create accurate business models.

Data Modelling as a means to document the structural model
I enjoyed your article. One thing I find that I often like to build a data model - often more detailed than a logical model to help me understand and build the structural requirements. From this I work on the behavioural and functional. The whole thing is a feedback loop till I either run out of time or feel that it is as complete as it needs to be. There never seems to be a 100% complete requirements spec.
