Book excerpt: In this volume, researchers and practitioners share developments, raise new research issues, and exchange experiences related to the use of the ER approach in the development, maintenance, and use of information systems. From the original ER model, several more complete variants have been developed. In addition, the ER model has been applied in other approaches, such as semantic and other object-oriented models, resulting in their incorporation into the ER model. Four major themes are addressed: Knowledge Representation, Conceptual Modelling and Data Base Design, New Approaches in Database Management Systems and in Information Systems, and Innovative Theories and Applications.
