INFORMATION MODEL
An information model is like a plan for organizing data, making it easier to understand and use. It helps us see how different pieces of information are connected. For instance, in a database, it shows how tables relate to each other. By using an information model, we can design better systems for storing and finding data. It's sort of like creating a map for how information should be organized and accessed. In short, information models help us manage data more effectively.
DATA MODEL
A data model is like a plan for organizing information so it will be easy to use. It puts data into groups called entities and shows how they're connected through diagrams. Entities are like collections of things, and attributes describe those things. The model makes sure the data stays correct by checking that it's all linked properly. Plus, it lets us ask questions and get answers using queries, which are like requests for specific information from the data.
There are 3 majors' component of data modeling, structural aspect, integrity aspect, and manipulative aspect. Structural is a collection like person names, places or things. The integrity aspect, like referential integrity, makes sure that data references in a database are correct and accurate, stopping any accidental changes or deletions to linked data. The manipulative aspect in a Microsoft Access Database involves utilizing queries, which are requests made by users for specific information, resulting in the creation of new tables by extracting data from existing ones.
NETWORK MODEL
Is way of organizing and structuring data to show how relationships between entities. It uses nodes to represent entities and edges to show the relationship between them. Nodes can have several connections to other nodes, making the structure flexible. This model is useful when entities have many connections, or the data is highly interconnected. It's a popular choice for complex data storage because of its flexibility.
RELATION MODEL
Is a system of organizing data in database using tables, each table represent a specified entity or relationship. Relation models allow efficient storage and also backup of structured data.
HIERARCHICAL MODEL
Hierarchical models use a tree like structure to organize data in a database. It's started to top to bottom, at the top one is the parent and the bottom is the child nodes. Each level contains categories represented by parent nodes, while child nodes represent specific data items or subcategories.
