Logical Models

A logical data model or logical schema is a data model of a specific problem domain expressed independently of a particular database management product or storage technology but in terms of data structures such as relational tables and columns, object-oriented classes, or XML tags

Jump to Conceptual, logical and physical data model - A logical data model or logical schema is a data model of a specific problem domain expressed independently of a particular database management product or storage technology (physical data model) but in terms of data structures such as relational tables and columns, object-oriented classes, or XML tags.A logical data model describes the data in as much detail as possible, without regard to how they will be physical implemented in the database. Features of a logical data model include: Includes all entities and relationships among them. All attributes for each entity are specified.

This can be simple like a diagram, physical model, or picture, or complex like a set of calculus equations, or computer program. The main types of scientific model are visual, mathematical, and computer models. Visual models are things like flowcharts, pictures, and diagrams that help us educate each other.
