    An entity-relationship model (ER model) describes the structure of a database through diagrams called entity relationship diagrams. An ER model designs a database that can later be implemented. The main components are entity sets and relationship sets. An entity is an object or data component represented by a rectangle. An attribute describes an entity's property and is represented by an oval. Relationships show relationships among entities and are represented by diamonds. An example ER diagram shows entities like Student with attributes like firstname and relationships like Student enrolled in Course.
