There should be many things that can be said about individual money
transfers: date; amount transferred; origination and destination
accounts; originator; statuses such as fee (of what type), auto debit,
refund, ...; legal jurisdiction (and thus set of governing regulations);
currency of transfer, etc. This certainly suggests that the individual
transactions should be individuals in the knowledge base. (03)
There should be a hierarchy of types of monetary transactions, with
inter-account transfers being a subclass of both MonetaryTransferIntoAccount
and MonetaryTransferOutOfAccount. A transfer with the payer and payee
being the same should be a separate class of money transfer since
different reporting regulations would apply. (04)
