According to Li and Chen (2009), ERD is a diagram that shows how different things in a database relate to each other.These terms are related to ERD:
- Entities are the things being modeled, like customers or products.
- Attributes are the characteristics of an entity, like its name or size.
- Cardinalities show how many of one thing are related to another, like one-to-many or many-to-many.
- Relationships show how entities are connected, and can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many.
ERDs are helpful for designing and building a database
that meets the needs of a business or organization.
