1 A conceptual data model is a model of the things in the business and the relationships among them, rather than a model of the data about those things. This model is one that identifies highest/top level relationships between entities; usually these modes include only the important entities and their relationships, no attributes/prim keys are highlighted
2 A canonical data model (CDM) is a type of data model that presents data entities and relationships in the simplest possible form. The model is business oriented, based purely on business semantics (ie not including any system-dependent/implementation specifics), and used to communicate between data formats
3 Logical data models are much more explicit than canonical models, listing all entities and relationships and specifying attributes for each entity. Data is described in as much detail as possible.
It may include:
- Restrictions on the data that can be held
- Rules and derived data that are relevant to the processes of the application(s) the logical data model serves
