The Logical Data Map
A data dictionary can be split into a set of logical data areas. A logical data map is used to visualize the dependencies between logical data areas.

The components of a logical data map
You can add internal and external components in a logical data map.
The internal components are data areas that are part of the map scope (whether they belong to the owner package or not).
The external components are those used in the map but that are not part of the scope analyzed.
