Summary
Data must be organized in some logical manner
on physical storage devices so that they can be
efficiently processed. For this reason, data are
commonly organized into logical data elements
such as characters, fields, records, files and
databases.
Database structures such as the hierarchical,
network, relational, and object-oriented models
are used to organize the relationships among
the data records stored in databases.
