Symbols for Martin ERD

Edraw supports five types of diagrams: Chen ERD, Database Model Diagram, Express-G, Martin ERD and ORM Source Model.

Rectangles and ovals represent entities, attributes or data items.

Simple lines indicate relationships, and adornments are added adjacent to the lines to indicate the type of relationship (written) and its connectivity (0, 1, *).

A line with a midpoint arrow indicates a message or data-flow.

Simple lines connected by a dot indicate a boolean and/or computation.

A rounded rectangle represents activity.

A large arrow represents an event.

A triangle with a numeric label represents a connection.

When modelling a real-world phenomenon, it can often be useful to have multiple descriptions of the phenomenon, each expressed using a different modelling approach or representation . Different representations such as entity-relationship modelling, data flow modelling and use case modelling allow analysts to describe different aspects of real-world phenomena, thus providing a more thorough understanding than if a single representation were used. Researchers working with multiple representations have approached the problem from different directions, resulting in a diverse and potentially confusing set of terminologies.
