This IDEF0 diagram example was redesigned from the Wikimedia Commons file: C4ISR Architecture Framework, Example Activity Diagram in IDEF0 Format.jpg. [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ File:C4ISR_ Architecture_ Framework,_ Example_ Activity_ Diagram_ in_ IDEF0_ Format.jpg]
"... the C4ISR concept of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ..." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ C4ISR]
"The C4ISR Architectural Framework (C4ISR AF) is now known as DoDAF, is a reference model developed by the US Department of Defense in the 1990s." [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ Category:C4ISR_ Architecture_ Framework]
"The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architecture framework for the United States Department of Defense (DoD) that provides visualization infrastructure for specific stakeholders concerns through viewpoints organized by various views. These views are artifacts for visualizing, understanding, and assimilating the broad scope and complexities of an architecture description through tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, graphical, probabilistic, or alternative conceptual means.
This Architecture Framework is especially suited to large systems with complex integration and interoperability challenges, and it is apparently unique in its employment of "operational views". These views offer overview and details aimed to specific stakeholders within their domain and in interaction with other domains in which the system will operate." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Department_ of_ Defense_ Architecture_ Framework]
The example "C4ISR architecture framework - IDEF0 activity diagram" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the solution "IDEF Business Process Diagrams" from the area "Business Processes" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

ERD Symbols and Meanings

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) is a popular software engineering tool for database modeling and illustration the logical structure of databases, which uses one of two notations - Chen's or Crow’s Foot. Crow's foot notation is effective when used in software engineering, information engineering, structured systems analysis and design. Each of these notations applies its own set of ERD symbols. Crow's foot diagrams use boxes to represent entities and lines between these boxes to show relationships. Varied shapes at the ends of lines depict the cardinality of a given relationship. Chen's ERD notation is more detailed way to represent entities and relationships. ConceptDraw PRO application enhanced with all-inclusive Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution allows design professional ER diagrams with Chen's or Crow’s Foot notation on your choice. It contains the full set of ready-to-use standardized ERD symbols and meanings helpful for quickly drawing, collection of predesigned ERD samples, examples and templates. ConceptDraw Pro is a great alternative to Visio for Mac users as it offers more features and can easily handle the most demanding professional needs.

Landscape designs perfectly gives the property owner and landscape contractor better vision for cost estimation, helping to ensure the project time and budget.
The vector stencils library "Transport map" contains 96 pictograms for drawing transport maps.
Use it in your spatial infographics for visual representation of transport schemes and plans as metro maps in the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Spatial Infographics solution from the area "What is Infographics" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
