It’s also later used to model a particular database or databases. Database design: ER diagrams are used to model and design relational databases, in terms of logic and business rules (in a logical data model) and in terms of the specific technology to be implemented (in a physical data model.) In software engineering, an ER diagram is often an initial step in determining requirements for an information systems project.The work of Chen, Bachman, Brown, Martin and others also contributed to the development of Unified Modeling Language (UML), widely used in software design. Brown published works on real-world systems modeling. Bachman developed a type of Data Structure Diagram, named after him as the Bachman Diagram. Brown were working with close predecessors of Chen’s approach. It’s seen more recently in the 19th and 20th Century works of philosopher-logicians like Charles Sanders Peirce and Gottlob Frege.īy the 1960s and 1970s, Charles Bachman (above) and A.P.G. In a broader sense, the depiction of the interconnectedness of things dates back to least ancient Greece, with the works of Aristotle, Socrates and Plato.
While serving as an assistant professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management, he published a seminal paper in 1976 titled “The Entity-Relationship Model: Toward a Unified View of Data.” Peter Pin-Shan Chen), currently a faculty member at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh, is credited with developing ER modeling for database design in the 1970s.
