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. Comparison of database administration tools - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_database...

   Visual schema/E-R design: the ability to draw entity-relationship diagrams for the database. If missing, the following two features will also be missing; Reverse engineering - the ability to produce an ER diagram from a database, complete with foreign key relationships

4. 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.

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. Cardinality (data modeling) - Wikipedia

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

   In the object-oriented application programming paradigm, which is related to database structure design, UML class diagrams may be used for object modeling. In that case, object relationships are modeled using UML associations, and multiplicity is used on those associations to denote cardinality. Here are some examples: [5]

7. Data modeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_modeling

   An entity–relationship model (ERM) is an abstract conceptual representation of structured data. Entity–relationship modeling is a relational schema database modeling method, used in software engineering to produce a type of conceptual data model (or semantic data model ) of a system, often a relational database , and its requirements in a ...

8. Data dictionary - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_dictionary

   Another important piece of information that a data dictionary can provide is the relationship between tables. This is sometimes referred to in entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs), or if using set descriptors, identifying which sets database tables participate in. In an active data dictionary constraints may be placed upon the underlying data.

9. Information model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_model

   A sample ER diagram. Database requirements for a CD collection in EXPRESS-G notation.. In 1976, an entity-relationship (ER) graphic notation was introduced by Peter Chen.He stressed that it was a "semantic" modelling technique and independent of any database modelling techniques such as Hierarchical, CODASYL, Relational etc. [2] Since then, languages for information models have continued to ...
