Crow's foot notation, the beginning of which dates back to an article by Gordon Everest (1976), [16] is used in Barker's notation, Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM), and information technology engineering. Crow's foot diagrams represent entities as boxes, and relationships as lines between the boxes.

This notation was and still is used by the Oracle CASE modelling tools. It is a variation of the "crows foot" style of data modelling that was favoured by many over the original Chen style of ERD modelling because of its readability and efficient use of drawing space.
The initial IDEF1 technique was based on the work of Dr R. R. Brown and Mr T. L. Ramey of Hughes Aircraft working with Dan Appleton and Stu Coleman of D. Appleton Company (DACOM), with critical review and influence by Charles Bachman, Peter Chen, Dr M. A. Melkanoff, and Dr G.M. Nijssen. [1] DACOM and Hughes tested IDEF1 by modeling engineering ...
One notation as described in Entity Relationship modeling is Chen notation or formally Chen ERD notation created originally by Peter Chen in 1976 where a one-to-many relationship is notated as 1:N where N represents the cardinality and can be 0 or higher.
Two related entities shown using Crow's Foot notation. In this example, the three lines next to the song entity indicate that an artist can have many songs. The two vertical lines next to the artist entity indicate songs can only have one performer.
Overview of a data-modeling context: Data model is based on Data, Data relationship, Data semantic and Data constraint. A data model provides the details of information to be stored, and is of primary use when the final product is the generation of computer software code for an application or the preparation of a functional specification to aid a computer software make-or-buy decision.
Illustration of set type using a Bachman diagram. A Bachman diagram is a certain type of data structure diagram, [2] and is used to design the data with a network or relational "logical" model, separating the data model from the way the data is stored in the system.
