Bachman Diagram
Data Structure Diagram
(Or "Data Structure Diagram") Charles Bachman's 1969
proposal for a style of entity-relationship model which
differs from that of Peter Chen. Backman Diagrams show both
entities and relations as boxes connected by "couplings".
Couplings are named to show how that entity participates in
that relation. Each end of a coupling is marked to show the
cardinality (one or many) of the entity in the relation.
