International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 44(6), 801-828. https://doi.org/10.1006/ijhc.1996.0034Data modelling reveals the internal structure of an information system, abstracting away from details of the physical representation. We show that entity-relationship modelling, a well-tried example of a data-modelling technique, can be applied to...
