Now, let's start the conceptual data modeling for our TaskAgile application. First of all, let's go over the notation that we will use to create ER diagrams.
The notation we use in this book is crow's foot notation. We use rectangles to represent entities. For example, the following represents User entities and Team Entities:
Figure 5.2: Entities
And, we use a line to connect rectangles to represent a relationship. For example, Figure 5.3 represents the relationship between User entities and Team entities:
Figure 5.3: The relationship between User and Team
In this relationship, the symbol with double perpendicular lines on the left side means one and only one, and the symbol on the right side that is similar to a crow's foot means zero or many. It reads like this from left to right—Each user may create zero or many teams. And, it is like this when reading from right to left—Each team must be created by one and only one user.
