Entity Relationship Software

Entity Relationship Diagram

ERD is a major data modelling tool which can help to organize your project's data into the entities and to define the relashionships between these entities.

It is convenient to design ER Diagrams using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution from the Software Development Area for ConceptDraw Solution Park. This solution supports Chen's and Crow’s Foot notations that are often used to describe database structure.

In a Chen's notation, entities are represented by rectangles with the entities names inside and relationships are represented by diamonds. The attributes are drawn as ovals and are connected with a line to exactly one entity or relationship set.

ERD Software. Chen's notation

Example 1. Entity Relationship Software. Chen's notation

Another type of notation is known as Crow's Foot notation. Fundamentally it is very similar to Chen's notation and differs by designations, are used the boxes to represent entities and the lines between them to represent relationships. The attributes of entity are drawn in the box that represents this entity.

A network diagram represents the set of computers and network devices and the connections among them. This scheme can be developed for any institution or establishment. To illustrate this concept let’s take for example, a hotel network topology diagram or a school network diagram. These diagrams depict access points, servers, workstations, firewalls and another equipment needed to provide a network. On this masterpiece drawing one will see a simple scheme a of connecting computers together. Such form of connecting can be applied for a hotel, guest house, bungalow, hut or something else. This diagram shows the images of the real LAN components. So, it represents a physical category of a network construction. It looks similar to a star - so this network configuration is named a star topology. The typical feature of this construction is a center point - usually it is hub, or router. The rays of this star means network connections. Computers, peripherals and other network details are placed on the ends of the star rays.Hotel Network Topology Diagram *
