    Data modeling is the process of creating a conceptual representation of data objects, their associations, and rules to be stored in a database. This helps visually represent and organize data, enforce business rules and standards, and ensure data quality and consistency. The data model emphasizes what data is needed and how it should be organized rather than how it will be accessed or used. There are three primary types of data models - logical models fully attribute and normalize data, physical models represent the actual database structure, and conceptual models focus on the business entities and their relationships abstracted from implementation details.

    ASSIGNMENT 4

    What is Data Modeling?


    Data modeling is the process of creating a data model for the data to be
    stored in a Database. This data model is a conceptual representation of

     Data objects
     The associations between different data objects
     The rules.
     The most important task in database development

    Data modeling helps in the visual representation of data and enforces


    business rules, regulatory compliances, and government policies on the
    data. Data Models ensure consistency in naming conventions, default
    values, semantics, and security while ensuring quality of the data.

    Data model emphasizes on what data is needed and how it should be


    organized instead of what operations need to be performed on the data.
    Data Model is like architect's building plan which helps to build a
    conceptual model and set the relationship between data items.

    What is Data Model?


    A Data Model is used to document, define, organize, and show how the
    data structures within a given database, architecture, application, or
    platform are connected, stored, accessed, and processed within the given
    system and between other systems.

     A data model is a plan, or blueprint, for a database design.


     A data model is more generalized and abstract than a database
    design.
     It is easier to change a data model than it is to change a database
    design, so it is the appropriate place to work through conceptual
    database problems.
    Most Data Modeling tutorials discuss the three primary types of data
    models: logical, physical, and conceptual. The Data Administration
    Newsletter (TDAN.com) defines each of them as:

    “A physical data model represents the actual structure of a


    database—tables and columns, or the messages sent between computer
    processes. Here the entity types usually represent tables, and the
    relationship type lines represent the foreign keys between tables.”

    “A logical data model is a fully attributed data model that is fully


    normalized. Fully attributed means that the entity types have all the
    attributes and relationship types for all the data that is required by the
    application(s) it serves.

    “A conceptual data model is a model of the things in the business and


    the relationships among them, rather than a model of the data about those
    things. So in a conceptual data model, when you see an entity type called
    car, then you should think about pieces of metal with engines, not records
    in databases. As a result, conceptual data models usually have few, if any,
    attributes.”
