Design Element: Chen for Entity Relationship Diagram - ERD

Entity-relationship diagrams or ERD are very well known for representing some data models as well as the relationships and the connections between them. Chen notation was first introduced by Chen and then developed by Barker and it provides lots of data modelling tool as, for example, decomposition charts or attribute diagrams as well as entity-relationship diagrams. The name of the diagram itself explains the reason of creating such type of diagram as it shows the relationship between the different entities which are the real or sometimes abstract objects, such as ideas, people, events, items, conditions, etc. Having ConceptDraw DIAGRAM on your desktop means having lots of design elements for creating any flowchart, charts, diagrams, schemes or plans with help of lots of templates as well as different examples of already existing diagrams, including the ERD.

Design Element: Crows Foot for Entity Relationship Diagram - ERD

It may sound very complex, but for those who work with it, especially in IT business, entity-relationship diagram is a very usual thing that can be used for executing the specification of some data warehouse for any designed system and for documenting all of the entities in system as well as their interactions with each other including the important domain objects or entities identification and the properties of these objects which are called the attributes. Also you can make ERD for visualizing relationships of these attributes to some other objects no matter what these objects are. To sum up, ER Diagrams of Crow’s Foot as well as Chen notations can help you to make the chart which consists of elements that are meant to describe each of the system’s element and to make such diagram is better in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM as it is the only one that professional software.
