2. Entity–relationship model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity–relationship_model

   Entity–relationship model. An entity–attribute-relationship diagram for an MMORPG using Chen's notation. 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 ...

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. It was developed to reflect more precisely the properties and constraints that are found ...

4. Resources, Events, Agents - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resources,_Events,_Agents

   Resources, events, agents (REA) is a model of how an accounting system can be re-engineered for the computer age. REA was originally proposed in 1982 by William E. McCarthy as a generalized accounting model, [1] and contained the concepts of resources, events and agents (McCarthy 1982). REA is a standard approach in teaching accounting ...

5. Database design - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_design

   Attributes in ER diagrams are usually modeled as an oval with the name of the attribute, linked to the entity or relationship that contains the attribute. ER models are commonly used in information system design; for example, they are used to describe information requirements and / or the types of information to be stored in the database during ...

6. Weak entity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_entity

   Weak entity. In a relational database, a weak entity is an entity that cannot be uniquely identified by its attributes alone; therefore, it must use a foreign key in conjunction with its attributes to create a primary key. The foreign key is typically a primary key of an entity it is related to. The foreign key is an attribute of the ...

7. Associative entity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_entity

   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.

8. One-to-many (data model) - Wikipedia

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

   One-to-many (data model) In systems analysis, a one-to-many relationship is a type of cardinality that refers to the relationship between two entities (see also entity–relationship model). For example, take a car and an owner of the car. The car can only be owned by one owner at a time or not owned at all, and an owner could own zero, one, or ...

9. Data modeling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_modeling

   Example of an IDEF1X entity–relationship diagrams used to model IDEF1X itself. The name of the view is mm. The domain hierarchy and constraints are also given. The constraints are expressed as sentences in the formal theory of the meta model. [8] There are several notations for data modeling.
