techincal-term !!

[fixthebug2003]

Hi,
I am looking for the techincal-term that is used in the IT Industry for a Diagram that depicts the Data-model of multiple projects running under a department in an organization..that would help to see what information each
Project captures and interfaces with other projects...!

Does anyone know it?

Fix,

In the Oracle world, the term is "Entity-Relationship Diagram" (ERD). The Diagram should depict all distinct collections of attributes (entities) that are of business significance, along with connective lines that show the relationships amongst the entities. Those linear depictions translate into Foreign Key definitions, which point to Primary Key definitions in the related entities (tables).

Is that what you were looking for?
