Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 4, Problem 4.27RQ
Explanation of Solution
Data model:
Data model is the representation of object by different graphic symbol and illustrates the relationship between the object.
- It converts the complex
system design into the understood representation of data flows and processes. - Entity, attribute, and relationship are the three basic elements of data model.
- The data model can be divided into three types:
- Object based data model.
- Physical data model.
- Record based data model.
Purpose of data model:
The purpose of data model to define the relationship between data and describes how the data stored in computer memory...
