Design Element: Crows Foot
for Entity Relationship Diagram - ERD

Entity-relationship Diagram (ERD) is a perfect tool which lets execute the detalization of data warehouse for designed system, as well as documenting the entities of the system and their interactions each other, including the identification of important domain objects (entities), the properties of these objects (attributes) and their relationships to other objects.

Creating an ERD requires choosing a specific set of notations that best serve the specific database being designed. Chen’s original notation had a linguistic approach, where boxes representing entities could be thought of as nouns, and the relationships between them were in verb form, shown on a diagram as a diamond.

Eventually Chen’s style was adapted into the Crow’s Foot notation, where relationships were shown as single labeled lines – this quickly became the popular standard, due to improved readability on diagrams, with a more efficient use of space on the page.

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution from Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park allows you to draw ER diagrams for depicting a database using the ERD diagram design element Crow's Foot - Crow′s Foot notation icons.
