文本中的实体关系表示法

发布于 2024-08-06 08:44:22 字数 231 浏览 12 评论 0原文

实体关系是否有标准(非图形)表示法?

现在我正在使用我自己的简陋符号:

  • 用户>>照片,(1-多)
  • 用户> Profile , (1-1 hasOne)
  • Profile <用户 , (1-1 属于)
  • 照片 <<用户 , (many-1 属于)
  • 照片 <>标签,(多对多)

Is there a standard (non-graphical) notation for Entity Relationships?

right now I'm using my own janky notation:

  • User >> Photo , (1-many)
  • User > Profile , (1-1 hasOne)
  • Profile < User , (1-1 belongsTo)
  • Photo << User , (many-1 belongsTo)
  • Photo <> Tag , (many-many)

差不多十年后,我也很难找到明文标准。这是我到目前为止所发现的(不过,公平警告,它主要是图形标准,恰好在文本中运行良好)。

首先,描述对象之间关系基数的常用术语是“多重性”。

这种关联关系表明(至少)两个相关类之一引用了另一个类。这种关系通常被描述为“A has a B”(母猫有小猫,小猫有母猫)。

尽管相当多的来源也使用术语“基数”。
关于多重性与基数这个SO问题的差异有一些很好的答案。我发现这个非常简洁:

...重数由下基数和上基数组成。基数是一个集合中有多少个元素。因此,重数告诉您该集合允许的最小和最大成员。

UML 的多重性表示法

UML 的 多重表示法 在文本中效果很好。

+--------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| Multiplicity | Option |               Cardinality               |
+--------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| 0..0         | 0      | Collection must be empty                |
| 0..1         |        | No instances or one instance            |
| 1..1         | 1      | Exactly one instance                    |
| 0..*         | *      | Zero or more instances                  |
| 1..*         |        | At least one instance                   |
| 5..5         | 5      | Exactly 5 instances                     |
| m..n         |        | At least m but no more than n instances |

来自 我读到的陈式是“原始格式”。我通常将其以文本形式表示为:

| 1:N      | One to Many  |

Almost 10 years later and I've also had a hard time finding plaintext standards. Here's what I've found so far (fair warning though, it's mostly graphical standards that happen to work well in text).

First, the common term for describing the cardinality of a relationship between objects is "multiplicity".

This association relationship indicates that (at least) one of the two related classes make reference to the other. This relationship is usually described as "A has a B" (a mother cat has kittens, kittens have a mother cat).

Though a considerable number of sources also use the term "cardinality".
There's a few good answers about the difference on this SO question about Multiplicity vs Cardinality. I found this one to be pretty succinct:

...a multiplicity is made up of a lower and an upper cardinality. A cardinality is how many elements are in a set. Thus, a multiplicity tells you the minimum and maximum allowed members of the set.

UML's Multiplicity Notation

UML's multiplicity notation works well in text.

+--------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| Multiplicity | Option |               Cardinality               |
+--------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+
| 0..0         | 0      | Collection must be empty                |
| 0..1         |        | No instances or one instance            |
| 1..1         | 1      | Exactly one instance                    |
| 0..*         | *      | Zero or more instances                  |
| 1..*         |        | At least one instance                   |
| 5..5         | 5      | Exactly 5 instances                     |
| m..n         |        | At least m but no more than n instances |
+--------------+--------+-----------------------------------------+

There seem to be a few variations of this:

  • Microsoft's Relational Notation

    +---------------------------------+---------------------+
    |          Multiplicity           |     Cardinality     |
    +---------------------------------+---------------------+
    | *                               | One to zero or more |
    | 1..*                            | One to one or more  |
    | 0..1                            | One to zero or one  |
    | 1                               | Exactly one         |
    | Two numbers separated by a dash | a range             |
    +---------------------------------+---------------------+
    
  • IBM's

    | Rose | Software Architect |          Description          |

    | 1    | 1                  | Exactly 1 instance            |
    | 0..n | *                  | 0 or more instances           |
    | 1..n | 1,,*               | 1 or more instances           |
    | 0..1 | 0..1               | 0 or 1 instances              |

  • Smartdraw's Martin Style

Chen Style

From what I've read Chen style is the "original format". I commonly see this expressed in text as:

+----------+--------------+
| Notation | Description  |
+----------+--------------+
| 1:1      | One to One   |
| 1:N      | One to Many  |
| N:1      | Many to One  |
| M:N      | Many to Many |
+----------+--------------+

IDEF1X and Others

There's IDEF1x (a NIST standard):

IDEF1X is a method for designing relational databases with a syntax designed to support the semantic constructs necessary in developing a conceptual schema.

That seems to describe the Min-Max / ISO notation (the English link is currently broken but here's a German article) referenced by Wikipedia's Entity–relationship model article which also lists a few other styles of graphical notations, some of which are text-friendly.

enter image description here

The German language article on (min,max) notation also has a useful table comparing UML, Chen, (min,max) and MC (Modified Chen):

+----------------------+-----------------+---------------------------------+-------------+-----------------+----------------------+
| (min,max) [Entity 1] | [UML, Entity 1] |          Chen-Notation          | MC-Notation | [UML, Entity 2] | (min,max) [Entity 2] |

为什么不使用与 ER 图中相同的内容:

  • 用户 1-n 照片
  • 用户 1-1 个人资料
  • 照片 n-1 用户

等等。 但我从未听说过官方明文标准。

Why not use the same than in ER-Diagramms:

  • User 1-n Photos
  • User 1-1 Profile
  • Photo n-1 User

and so on. But I never heard of an official plaintext standart.

有软件可以将纯文本描述转换为可视化 ER 图。

例如 erd 使用以下符号:

Cardinality    Syntax
0 or 1         ?
exactly 1      1
0 or more      *
1 or more      +

示例:

Person *--1 `Birth Place`
Artist +--? PlatinumAlbums

另请检查此 类似工具列表

然而,这些都不能称为标准。

There is software available that transforms plain text descriptions into visual ER diagrams.

For instance erd uses the following notation:

Cardinality    Syntax
0 or 1         ?
exactly 1      1
0 or more      *
1 or more      +

Examples:

Person *--1 `Birth Place`
Artist +--? PlatinumAlbums

Check also this list of similar tools.

However, none of these could be called a standard.
