The Entity-relationship Model

<p>In The Entity-relationship Model: A Basis for the Enterprise View of Data Peter P.S. Chen presents the foundational concepts of the Entity-Relationship (ER) model. This seminal work originally published in 1976 introduces a high-level data model designed to facilitate database design and data management within organizations. Chen's ER model offers a structured approach to representing data entities attributes and relationships providing a clear and intuitive framework for understanding and organizing complex data structures.</p> <p>The book explores the principles behind the ER model illustrating how it can be used to create a comprehensive enterprise view of data. It emphasizes the importance of effective communication between database designers users and managers and demonstrates how the ER model can serve as a common language for defining data requirements and designing robust database systems. This work remains a crucial resource for anyone involved in database design data modeling and information management.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
