Venn Diagrams

This Venn diagram sample shows how community elements overlap. It was designed on the base of the figure 1 in the course "eStrategies for Local Governments" from the website of the Southern Rural Development Center (SRDC), the Mississippi State University.
"Ultimately, the goal of this curriculum is to position a community for success as they develop web-based strategies for community and economic development. In support of this goal, the authors use a conceptual model that incorporates four fundamental elements (applications) of a community: government, business, education and community groups (Figure 1). Using the Venn diagram, it shows that each of these elements overlap with another, finally culminating in “Quality of Life” where all four overlap."

The Venn diagram example "Community elements overlapping" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Venn Diagrams solution from the area "What is a Diagram" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

Use this template to design your four set Venn diagrams.
In maths logic Venn diagram is "a diagram in which mathematical sets or terms of a categorial statement are represented by overlapping circles within a boundary representing the universal set, so that all possible combinations of the relevant properties are represented by the various distinct areas in the diagram".

The template "4-set Venn diagram" for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Venn Diagrams solution from the area "What is a Diagram" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Venn diagrams" contains 12 templates. Use it for drawing Venn and Euler diagrams.
"A Venn diagram (also called a set diagram or logic diagram) is a diagram that shows all possible logical relations between a finite collection of different sets. Typically overlapping shapes, usually circles, are used, and an area-proportional or scaled Venn diagram is one in which the area of the shape is proportional to the number of elements it contains. These diagrams represent elements as points in the plane, and sets as regions inside curves. An element is in a set S just in case the corresponding point is in the region for S. They are thus a special case of Euler diagrams, which do not necessarily show all relations. Venn diagrams were conceived around 1880 by John Venn. They are used to teach elementary set theory, as well as illustrate simple set relationships in probability, logic, statistics, linguistics and computer science." [Venn diagram. Wikipedia]

The vector stencils library "Basic Venn diagrams" contains 6 diagram templates for ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A Venn diagram is constructed with a collection of simple closed curves drawn in a plane. According to Lewis, the "principle of these diagrams is that classes [or sets] be represented by regions in such relation to one another that all the possible logical relations of these classes can be indicated in the same diagram. That is, the diagram initially leaves room for any possible relation of the classes, and the actual or given relation, can then be specified by indicating that some particular region is null or is not-null".
Venn diagrams normally comprise overlapping circles. The interior of the circle symbolically represents the elements of the set, while the exterior represents elements that are not members of the set. For instance, in a two-set Venn diagram, one circle may represent the group of all wooden objects, while another circle may represent the set of all tables. The overlapping area or intersection would then represent the set of all wooden tables. Shapes other than circles can be employed as shown below by Venn's own higher set diagrams. Venn diagrams do not generally contain information on the relative or absolute sizes (cardinality) of sets; i.e. they are schematic diagrams." [Venn diagram. Wikipedia]
