How are cardinality and ordinality represented in an ERD?

  • By altering entity shapes
  • Through color-coding
  • Using text labels
  • Via symbols and notation
Cardinality and ordinality in an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) are typically represented through symbols and notation. These symbols, such as crow's feet and lines, indicate the cardinality (i.e., the maximum and minimum number of instances of one entity that can be associated with another) and ordinality (i.e., the sequence or order of occurrences) between entities. By understanding these representations, database designers and developers can accurately depict the relationships between entities in the database schema.
