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

There are many ways to describe a database structure. One of the most usual is to draw an entity relationship diagram (ERD) using a Crow’s Foot notation to represent database elements. If you don’t want to draw it on paper, you should use an appropriate software.
An entity-relationship (ER) diagram is used to show the structure of a business database. ERD represents data as objects (entities) that are connected with standard relationships symbols which Illustrate an association between entities. ERD, there is a wide range of ERD notations used by data bases architects for reflecting the relationships between the data entities. According to the crow’s foot notation relationships are drawn as single labeled lines designating a certain kinds of relationship. Crow foot notation is a most frequently used ERD standard, because of improved readability of diagrams, with a more accurate use of space on the page._Win_Mac.png)

An abstract representation is usually the first thing you will need while developing a database. To understand the ways that databases are structured, you should look through entity-relationship diagram examples and see the notations features and attributes. With an entity-relationship model you can describe a database of any complexity.
This Entity-relationship diagram is a tool for software developers. It enables every element of database to be managed, communicated and tested before release. This ERD was created using symbols advocated by Chen's notation. Because of a linguistic origin of the Chen’s notation, the boxes representing entities could be interpreted as nouns, and the relationships between them are in verb form, shown on a diagram as a diamond.
