  2. Entity–relationship model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–relationship_model

    An entity–relationship model (or ER model) describes interrelated things of interest in a specific domain of knowledge. A basic ER model is composed of entity types (which classify the things of interest) and specifies relationships that can exist between entities (instances of those entity types).

  3. Enhanced entity–relationship model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_entity...

    The enhanced entity–relationship (EER) model (or extended entity–relationship model) in computer science is a high-level or conceptual data model incorporating extensions to the original entity–relationship (ER) model, used in the design of databases.

  4. Barker's notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barker's_notation

    Barker's notation refers to the ERD notation developed by Richard Barker, Ian Palmer, Harry Ellis et al. whilst working at the British consulting firm CACI around 1981. The notation was adopted by Barker when he joined Oracle and is effectively defined in his book Entity Relationship Modelling as part of the CASE Method series of books.

  5. Associative entity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_entity

    An associative entity is a term used in relational and entity–relationship theory. A relational database requires the implementation of a base relation (or base table) to resolve many-to-many relationships. A base relation representing this kind of entity is called, informally, an associative table. An associative entity (using Chen notation)

  6. Data model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_model

    An entity–relationship model (ERM), sometimes referred to as an entity–relationship diagram (ERD), could be used to represent an abstract conceptual data model (or semantic data model or physical data model) used in software engineering to represent structured data. There are several notations used for ERMs.

  7. Cardinality (data modeling) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinality_(data_modeling)

    The entity–relationship model proposes a technique that produces entity–relationship diagrams (ERDs), which can be employed to capture information about data model entity types, relationships and cardinality.

  8. Enterprise data modelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_data_modelling

    Enterprise data modelling or enterprise data modeling (EDM) is the practice of creating a graphical model of the data used by an enterprise or company. Typical outputs of this activity include an enterprise data model consisting of entity–relationship diagrams (ERDs), XML schemas (XSD), and an enterprise wide data dictionary.

  9. Many-to-many (data model) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-to-many_(data_model)

    For example, think of A as Authors, and B as Books. An Author can write several Books, and a Book can be written by several Authors. In a relational database management system, such relationships are usually implemented by means of an associative table (also known as join table, junction table or cross-reference table), say, AB with two one-to-many relationships A → AB and B → AB.
