Hi
UML
allows you to model any kind of entity as classes, so an entity like Account,
Customer, Cat, Dog etc would be a class in your business model. You can model
any entity as a class, but doing a good model takes a little skill and
experience in knowing which entities you should include, and how these entities
are associated. Remember that entities (business objects - if you want to be up
on OO-speak) have rules and behaviour as well as attributes), so a good business
object model should be more than just data and
relationships.
I
would thoroughly recommend a course on Object Oriented Business Modeling (I
think Rational run a one day course) to get you started, and also invest in a
couple of good books on business modeling - of which there are many, but if
you stick with the Addison Wesley Object Techology series you can't go wrong (I
recommend "Analysis Patterns" from Addison Wesley as well).
Good
luck
