A data structure diagram (DSD) is a diagram and data model used to describe
conceptual data models by providing graphical notations which document
entities and their relationships, and the constraints that binds them. The
basic graphic elements of DSDs are boxes, representing entities, and arrows,
representing relationships. Data structure diagrams are most useful for
documenting complex data entities.
• Entity-relationship model
• Information model
• Object model
An object model in computer science is a collection of objects or classes
through which a program can examine and manipulate some specific parts of
its world. In other words, the object-oriented interface to some service or
system is said to be the object model of the represented service or system.
For example, the Document Object Model (DOM) is a collection of objects that
represent a page in a web browser, used by script programs to examine and
dynamically change the page. E.g., there is a Microsoft Excel object model for
controlling Microsoft Excel from another program.
Object Role Modeling (ORM) is a method for conceptual modeling, and can be
used as a tool for information and rules analysis. Object Role Modeling is a
fact-oriented method for performing systems analysis at the conceptual level.
The quality of a database application depends critically on its design. To help
ensure correctness, clarity, adaptability and productivity, information
systems are best specified first at the conceptual level, using concepts and
language that people can readily understand.
OR Models
Applying the operations research and management science (OR/MS) models to
solve managerial problems has gained in popularity as the computing power
advances and more computer systems are designed for assisting the usage of
OR/MS models. Many of these systems are designed with one specific model in
mind, for example, linear programming or the EOQ model. Due to their lack of
versatility, users have to know which OR/MS model to use in order to choose the
right package. Thus, these systems usually provide nothing more than speeding up
the process from getting inputs to a model through outputs generated.
