Chen's notation for entity–relationship modeling uses rectangles to represent entity sets, and diamonds to represent relationships appropriate for first-class objects: they can have attributes and relationships of their own. If an entity set participates in a relationship set, they are connected with a line.
Entity relationship diagram (ERD) notations [ edit ] 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.
An associative entity (using Chen notation) As mentioned above, associative entities are implemented in a database structure using associative tables, which are tables that can contain references to columns from the same or different database tables within the same database.

Example of an IDEF1X diagram. Integration DEFinition for information modeling (IDEF1X) is a data modeling language for the development of semantic data models.IDEF1X is used to produce a graphical information model which represents the structure and semantics of information within an environment or system.
The Chen style (which *is* the original) is distinguished from the others by representing relationship types explicitly as "first class objects" (nodes) rather than as lines (edges). AFAICT, every diagram in any of the other (non-Chen) styles of "ERD" is isomorphic to a relational schema and, therefore, to a diagram in any of the other styles.

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.
