Why Do We Need EER<br />

ER modeling is sufficient for representing<br />

many database schemas for “traditional”<br />

database applications.<br />

Recent applications require additional<br />

semantic data modeling concepts<br />

Class/subclass relationship<br />

Type inheritance<br />

Specialization and generalization.<br />

Subclass-Superclass<br />

Subclasses:<br />

Further refinement (grouping) of a<br />

(super)class<br />

Attributes are inherited<br />

Class/subclass relationship is different<br />

from the relationship in ER modeling.<br />
