Entity Data Model (EDM)

The Entity Data Model (EDM) is a way to structure and organize data in software applications. It acts like a blueprint that defines how data entities (such as customers, products, or orders) are related, their properties, and rules. EDM helps developers manage complex data in a consistent and efficient manner, especially in systems that need to interact with databases. Think of it as a map that shows what data exists and how different pieces connect, making it easier to create, retrieve, and maintain information within an application.
