Extract

An Entity Relationship Model, also known as an Entity Relationship Diagram, a graphical representation of entities and their relationships to each other, typically used in computing in regard to the organization of data within databases or information systems. An entity is a piece of data; an object or concept about which data is stored. A relationship is how the data is shared between entities. The three types of relationships between entities are one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many.
