Introduction to Data

Modeling
Data modeling is the process of creating a conceptual representation of data
objects, the associations between different data objects, and the rules that govern
those associations. It is a vital step in the software development lifecycle, serving
as the foundation for database design and ensuring data consistency and integrity.
