Example 1. What is Entity-Relationship Diagram, Crow's foot notation
Creating an entity relationship diagram requires using a specific notation. There are several notations of entity-relationship diagram symbols and their meaning is slightly different. Five main components of common ERD notations are Entities, Actions, Attributes, Cardinality and Connections.
Example 2. What is Entity-Relationship Diagram, Chen's notation
ERD notations
The two of notations most widely used for creating Entity-Relationship Diagrams are:
- Chen's notation
- Crow's foot notation.
Crow’s Foot notation is quite descriptive and easy to understand, meanwhile, the Chen notation is great for conceptual modeling. By the way, the Crow's foot notation originates from the Chen's notation - it is an adapted version of the Chen's notation.
Professional ERD drawing implies knowing of ERD symbols and meanings. Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution from Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park includes icons advocated by Chen's and Crow’s Foot notation that can be used when describing a database.
Example 3. ERD Libraries

Computer networks nowadays are spread all across the world. The large number of parameters, such as geographic scale or communication protocols, can divide networks. One of the most common types of networks is called local area network (LAN). It convenient to represent network examples by means of diagrams.
This local area network (LAN) diagram provides an easy way to see the way the devices in a local network are interacted. The diagram uses a library containing specific symbols to represent network equipment , media and the end-user devices such as computers (PC, mac, laptop) , network printer, hubs, server and finally a modem. There are two types of network topologies: physical and logical. The current diagram represents precisely a physical type of LAN topology because it refers to the physical layout of a local network equipment.
