Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) consist of entities, attributes, and relationships that illustrate how data is connected. Cardinality and ordinality define the numerical context of these relationships, indicating the maximum and minimum instances of entity associations. This framework is essential for understanding data structures in databases.

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

● Entity Relationship Diagrams are composed of 3 main categories: entities, attributes,


and relationships.
○ Entities are objects or concepts that are associated with important data—like a
customer, order, or product.
○ Attributes represent properties or traits of an entity, such as a customer’s phone
number or home address.
○ Relationships demonstrate the link between entities.

● Cardinality further defines the relationship in a numerical context, particularly within


minimums and maximums.

● Cardinality refers to the maximum number of times an instance in one entity can relate to
instances of another entity. Ordinality, on the other hand, is the minimum number of
times an instance in one entity can be associated with an instance in the related entity.
