Data Management #!N #!EC #!N #!N The data management layer is 
the portion of the programming interface that provides modules with access 
to the data model, which is discussed in  #!Ldatmod,dxall197 h Understanding the Data Model  #!EL  . This 
layer includes general system services as well as routines for creating 
and managing the set of data objects. The data management layer 
also provides an application programming interface (API) for adding new modules 
to Data Explorer and for accessing the power and flexibility of 
the data model. #!N #!N Detailed information on this API can 
be found in IBM Visualization Data Explorer Programmer's Reference. #!N #!N
