The Entity Relationship Model — Toward a Unified View of Data
5,769 Citations2002Peter Pin-Shan Chen
A data model, called the entity-relationship model, is proposed that incorporates some of the important semantic information about the real world and can be used as a basis for unification of different views of data: the network model, the relational model, and the entity set model.
