m →History: typo "without" |
Nilyashawn (talk | contribs) m Removed the non-standard "datamodel" alias. None of the references actually supported making it a compound word. Several used DataModel - a camel case programming idiom to denote a variable or class name formed by two words. One stack overflow author randomly used datamodel instead of 2 words (possible typo or personal idiosyncrasy). A few pages had "datamodel" in all lowercase, but only as an artifact where DataModel had to be converted to lower case in certain places for technical reasons |

A '''data model'''
The term '''data model''' can refer to two distinct but closely related concepts. Sometimes it refers to an abstract formalization of the objects and relationships found in a particular application ___domain: for example the customers, products, and orders found in a manufacturing organization. At other times it refers to the set of concepts used in defining such formalizations: for example concepts such as entities, attributes, relations, or tables. So the "data model" of a banking application may be defined using the entity-relationship "data model". This article uses the term in both senses.
