Entity Data Model

The Entity Data Model (EDM) is a way of organizing and representing data in a structured format, often used in software applications. It defines the types of data, their properties, and how they relate to each other, similar to a blueprint or map of information. For example, in a customer database, entities could be "Customer" and "Order," with relationships showing which customer placed which order. This model helps developers understand, manage, and interact with data efficiently across systems, ensuring consistency and clarity in how data is stored and used.
