 Define the entity-relationship model
• An entity-relationship diagram or model is a data model
tool that allows representing the relevant entities of an
information system as well as their interrelationships and
properties.
 Types of relationships

The type of relationship is defined by taking the maximums of the cardinalities

involved in the relationship. There are four possible types:

One by one
An entity in A is uniquely
related to an entity in B
and viceversa.
 Several to one
An entity in A is exclusively
related to one entity in B. But an
entity in B can be related to 0 or
many entities in A.
One to Many
An entity in A is related to zero or many
entities in B. But an entity in B is related to a
single entity in A
 Many to Many
An entity in A can be related to 0 or many
entities in B and vice versa.
