Extend the data model to create data lakes, generate analytics, train machine-learning models, build a single view of the customer, and more. The Customer 360 Data Model is organized into subject areas. Each area represents a major business activity, such as customer information, product, or engagement data. A subject area consists of data model objects (DMO). ![subject area diagram](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-data-data_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/f3569962-3c9b-4f83-9d0c-b6a574e785da/data_cloud/images/TH_SubjectAreaDataModel_052422_zh.png) A DMO is a view of your data imported into Data 360 from data streams, insights, and other sources. A DMO uses attributes, or fields, to organize the data in specific and meaningful ways. The term “DMO” can refer to the Salesforce created and managed schema for a DMO or an instance of a DMO in an org based on the schema. Multiple types of DMOs can be created and used in an org. A standard DMO is created based on the pattern of a schema DMO and inherits the name, shape, and semantics of the referent. You can also create and define custom DMOs directly in an org. Additional subtypes of custom DMOs are created and used for specific features in Data 360. Data imported into Data 360 must be mapped to a DMO before it can be used for segmentation, activation, analytics, or any other operation. To get started with data mapping, add a connected data source to Data 360. After you connect a source, Data 360 accesses the source so that you can create mapping sets between objects and fields within it and the Customer 360 Data Model. For more information about DMOs and other object types used in Data 360, see [Data Objects in Data 360](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_data_lake_objects.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When working with Data 360, it’s helpful to know about Data 360 data objects including data lake objects (DLO) and data model objects (DMO)."). The Customer 360 Data Model connects disparate data together by linking DMOs together through relationships. Here’s the full data relationship diagram for the Customer 360 Data Model. ![overview data model object](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-data-data_cloud-264-0-0-production-enus/f3569962-3c9b-4f83-9d0c-b6a574e785da/data_cloud/images/DataCloud_Overview_ERD_112524_zh.png) For more details and a larger image, visit the [Data Model Gallery](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/data-models/guide/data-cloud-overview.html).
