Data modeling

arrangement of data in rows and columns

approaches to design, construction and management of built assets

reduction of data redundancy

an abstract model that organizes elements of data and standardizes how they relate to one another and to real world entities.

set of techniques for creating images, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message

set of attributes (columns) that uniquely specify a tuple (row) in a relation

field or collection of fields in one table that uniquely identifies a row of another table or the same table

set of data elements arranged in rows and columns as part of a database

(in software engineering) process of creating a data model for an information system by applying certain formal techniques

Relational database design

visual representation of database system relationships

single, implicitly structured data item in a table in a relational database; every row in a table has the same structure (set of columns)

family of syntax elements used for selecting, inserting, deleting and updating data in a database

part of a database record

American computer scientist

set of metadata that contains definitions and representations of data elements

data warehousing schema

set of columns in a relational database

sequence of values of a particular type, one value for each row in a database table

in relational database theory, a constraint between two sets of attributes in a relation from a database

syntax used to control access to data stored in a database

data representation method in computing systems

presence of data additional to the actual data that may permit correction of errors in stored or transmitted data

In the relational data model, a superkey is any set of attributes that uniquely identifies each tuple of a relation. Because superkey values are unique, tuples with the same superkey value must also have the same non-key attribute values. That is, non-key attributes are functionally dependent on the superkey.

unique identifier for either an entity in the modeled world or an object in the database

programming technique

data persistence software system that allows data to be specified, and sometimes stored, in XML format

relationship between entities

in database theory, a full constraint between two sets of attributes in a relation; requires that certain tuples be present in a relation, in contrast to functional dependency

form of structured data

type of unique key in a database formed of attributes that exist and are used in the external world outside the database

set of axioms used to infer all the functional dependencies on a relational database

values that a data element may contain

German computer scientist

persistence framework provided by Apple in the macOS and iOS operating systems

when each row in a table has a primary key that is unique and not null, so that each row represents a single instance of the modelled entity

data dimension which contains relatively static data which can change slowly, but unpredictably, rather than according to a regular schedule

information systems good practice for data normalization using one source for a particular data element

two different methods for presenting tabular data

type of cardinality that refers to the relationship between two entity types A and B in which an element of A may be linked to many elements of B, but a member of B is linked to only one element of A; the opposite of many-to-one

relationship between two sets of entities

representation of an organization's data, organized in terms of entities and relationships

set of techniques and concepts used in data warehouse design

logical modeling technique

business rule management system used by operational systems within an organization or enterprise

numerical relationship among rows in different tables

Construction Operations Building Information Exchange (COBie) is a United States-originated specification relating to managed asset information including space and equipment. It is closely associated with building information modeling (BIM) approaches to design, construction, and management of built assets.

standard data modeling language for product data

programming language

decomposition of a database relation such that a natural join of the resulting relations yields back the original relation
