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 ...

7. 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]
