Conceptual Data Model

July 12, 2009 by Deepanshu Mehta

A conceptual data model identifies the highest­level relationships between the 
different entities. Features of conceptual data model include: 

• Includes the important entities and the relationships among them.
• No attribute is specified.
• No primary key is specified.

The figure below is an example of a conceptual data model.

From the figure above, we can see that the only information shown via the 
conceptual data model is the entities that describe the data and the relationships 
between those entities. No other information is shown through the conceptual 
data model.
