1 ER Diagram:
An entity relationship diagram (ERD) shows the relationships of entity sets stored
in a database. An entity in this context is an object, a component of data. An entity
set is a collection of similar entities. These entities can have attributes that define
its properties.
By defining the entities, their attributes, and showing the relationships between
them, an ER diagram illustrates the logical structure of databases.ER diagrams are
used to sketch out the design of a database.
3.7.2 Class Diagram:
Use Case
• A use case represents a user goal that can be achieved by accessing the
system or software application. In Visual Paradigm, you can make use of the sub-
diagram feature to describe the interaction between user and system within a use case by creating
a sub-sequence diagram under a use case. You can also describe the use case scenario using the
Flow of Events editor.
Actor
• Actors are the entities that interact with a system. Although in most cases,
actors are used to represent the users of system, actors can actually be
anything that needs to exchange information with the system. So, an actor may
be people, computer hardware, other systems, etc.
System
Include
• An include relationship specifies how the behavior for the inclusion use case
is inserted into the behavior defined for the base use case.
Extend
• An extend relationship specifies how the behavior of the extension use case
can be inserted into the behavior defined for the base use case.
Dependency
• A dependency relationship represents that a model element relies on another
model element for specification and/or implementation.

Realization
Lifeline Notation
• A sequence diagram is made up of several of these lifeline notations
that should be arranged horizontally across the top of the diagram. No
two lifeline notations should overlap each other. They represent the
different objects or parts that interact with each other in the system
during the sequence.
• A lifeline notation with an actor element symbol is used when the particular
sequence diagram is owned by a use case.
