Information Model Poster: clearly define what matters for your business

Information modeling has been invented many years ago – and it’s here to stay (even in the Age of Agile).

Compared to some other techniques in business analysis, information modeling is incredibly simple. To build even the most complex and large data models we only need three basic elements: entity types, attribute types and relationship types.

But this simplicity hides the true power of the entity-relationship diagram. The complexity lies not within the elements, but in how those elements are used in practice.

This poster presents the “anatomy” of a good information model. It introduces different entity types (kernel, characteristic, derived and reference), multiple attribute types (normal, primary keys and foreign keys), and a way to express business rules using optionality and cardinality specifications on relationships.

By using this poster, you’ll be able to boost your information modeling skills!
