Hi Jens, As a quick follow up, I would differentiate, for the respective audiences of your information products,the conceptual, logical and physical models (all ERDs with different level of details) versus explanation of key concepts (existing in the model) but represented and exposed to the users in the system graphical user interface (GUI).
You will find most systems have different documentations: - user manuals (mostly task-oriented guide to different functionality across the system) - other technical documentation for administrators covering requirements, installation, troubleshooting,... - on-line help/FAQs (usually derived from the 2 other types above) Hope this helps.
