Q
query subject
A named collection of query items that
are closely functionally related. Query
subjects are defined using Framework
Manager to represent relational data and
form the set of available data for
authoring reports in Query Studio and
Report Studio. A query subject is similar
to a relational view in that it can be
treated as a table but does not necessarily
reflect the data storage.
U
Any individual, organization, process,
user
device, program, protocol, or system that
uses the services of a computing system.
