Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD)

How to Create an Entity-Relationship Diagram

ERD (entity relationship diagram) is used to show the logical structure of databases. It represents the interrelationships between components of a database (entities). Entity relationship diagrams are widely used in software engineering. Using ERD software engineers can control every aspect of database development. ER diagram can be used as a guide for testing and communicating before the release of the software product. ERD displays data as entities that are connected with connections that show the relationships between entities. There are some ERD notations used by databases developers for representing the relationships between the data objects. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and its ERD solution allow you to build ERD diagram of any notation.

How to Create a Venn Diagram

Venn diagrams were invented by John Venn as a method of depicting relationships between different components. A Venn diagram consists of two or more circles. Each circle represents a specific group or set. The entities which are depicted by circles generally have some common characteristics. A Venn Diagram shows all the possible logical relations between these entities. Any properties that belong to more than one set should be indicated in the sections where the circles overlap. A Venn Diagram can be useful to visually summarize the status and future viability of a project. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to make Venn diagrams using the Venn Diagrams solution.

How to Create a Concept Map

The graphical technique of knowledge representation in the form of structured networks of concepts (ideas) is called concept mapping. Concept network consists of shapes that represent concepts and connectors representing relationships between concepts. The difference between mind maps and concept maps is that a mind map has only one object depicting the main idea, while a concept map may have several. Concept mapping is used to structure ideas, to communicate a complex system of knowledge, to help the learning process, etc. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw concept maps using the Concept Map solution.

How to Draw a Block Diagram

Block diagram is a simple chart that use blocks to show some elements or activities, and connectors that show the relationship between neighboring blocks. They are commonly simple, giving an overview of a process without necessarily going into the specifics of implementation. Block diagrams are commonly used to depict a general description of a system and its activity. A most known sample of a block diagram is a flow chart, used in many types of business as a common method of representing repeated processes. Easy and a simple creation, a number of objects and connectors make the block diagram a many-sided tool for various industries. The ability to make block diagrams is delivered by the ConceptDraw Block Diagrams solution.

How to Create a Bubble Diagram

Bubble Diagram is a simple chart that consists of circles (bubbles) repesening certain topics or processes. Bubbles are connected by lines depicting the type of relationships between the bubbles. The size of each bubble is depended on the importance of the entity it represents. Bubble charts are widely used throughout social, economical, medical, and other scientific researches as well as throughout architecture and business management. Bubble charts are often used during the early stages of product development to visualize thoughts and ideas for the purpose of sketching out a development plan. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw a bubble diagrams using the Bubble Diagrams solution.

How to Add a Concept Map to a PowerPoint Presentation

Concept maps visually present the relationships among a set of logically connected items. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to draw concept maps using the Concept Map solution. The PowerPoint presentation of key concept points can be very informative and helpful.

How To Create a Concept Map in Visio

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to easily create concept maps and then make an MS Visio file from your diagrams in a few simple steps.

How To Create Visio Bubble Chart

ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to easily create business charts and diagrams of any complexity, including the bubbles diagram and then make an MS Visio file from your diagram in a few simple steps.

How to Add a Bubble Diagram to MS Word

A bubble diagram is used the same purpose as a scatter diagram, but in the case, if the data has three dimensions, each of that containing the set of values. A bubble chart is a diagram in which the data points are replaced with bubbles, and the size of the bubbles represents some additional dimension of the data. A bubble chart does not have the axis. The sizes of the bubbles are determined by the values in the third dimension. Any additional information about the entities beyond their three primary dimensions can be depicted by rendering bubbles in colors and patterns that are selected in a certain way. The legend containing the further information can be added to a bubble diagram. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to easily create various business management and marketing charts, including bubble diagrams and then add them to an MS Word document.

How to Add a Bubble Diagram to PowerPoint Presentation

Bubble diagrams can be used to compare concepts and identify areas of similarity and difference. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM allows you to make an MS PowerPoint Presentation from your charts in a few simple steps. A bubble diagram is a chart that represents information visually in the form of a series of bubbles. Bubble charts are often used in marketing and management during the early stages of product development to visualize ideas and concepts by organizing them in a hierarchy. The ability to create this form of a diagram is contained within the Bubble Diagrams solution. A PowerPoint presentation of bubble diagrams can be used to demonstrate and identify areas of similarity and difference of featured business ideas and concepts.
