Entity Relationship Diagram Symbols

Entity Relationship Diagram Symbols
Creating an entity-relationship (ER) model is to visually represent the structure of a business database, where data equates to entities (or objects) that are linked by defined relationships expressing dependencies and requirements. By nature it is an abstract visualization, the first step in the design process towards creating a logical and functional database.
ERD symbols used for professional ERD drawing are collected in libraries from the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution for ConceptDraw PRO.

How To Make Chen ER Diagram

how-to-make-chen-diagram4
The Chen ERD notation model is a popular standard and is widely used worldwide in database and software design. The entity-relationship model proposed by Dr. Chen is constructed using a natural view of how the real world comprises entities and the relationships that exist with these identified entities. It was designed to leverage the advantages of the three entity-data models (network model, relationship model, entity model). The free Chen Notation solution for ConceptDraw PRO provides vector stencil libraries with full standardized Chen notation included.

ERD Symbols and Meanings

Entity Relationship Diagram Symbols and Meaning - crow's foot notation
Crow's foot notation is used in Barker's Notation, Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method (SSADM) and information engineering. Crow's foot diagrams represent entities as boxes, and relationships as lines between the boxes. Different shapes at the ends of these lines represent the cardinality of the relationship.
The Chen's ERD notation is still used and is considered to present a more detailed way of representing entities and relationships.
To create an ERD, software engineers mainly turn to dedicated drawing software, which contain the full notation resources for their specific database design - ERD symbols and meanings. CS Odessa has released an all-inclusive Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution for their powerful drawing program, ConceptDraw PRO.

Data structure diagram with ConceptDraw PRO

Data structure diagram example
Data structure diagram (DSD) is intended for description of conceptual models of data (concepts and connections between them) in the graphic format for more obviousness. Data structure diagram includes entities description, connections between them and obligatory conditions and requirements which connect them. Create Data structure diagram with ConceptDraw PRO.

Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) with ConceptDraw PRO

erd diagram example, er-diagram design software
Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) serves for detailed description of structures and databases. An ERD represents a diagram made up mainly of rectangular blocks (for entities, or data) linked with relationships. The links between the blocks describe relations between these entities. There are three types of relationships: one-to-one,
one-to-many, many-to-many.
Draw Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) easily with ConceptDraw extended with Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) Solution from the Software Development Area. Use ERD software to create ER diagram.

How to Add a Bubble Diagram to MS Word

bubble-diagram-in-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 PRO allows you to easily create various business management and marketing charts, including bubble diagrams and then add them to a MS Word document.
