The Entity Paradigm is a conceptual framework used in software development and database design. It focuses on representing real-world objects or concepts as entities, which are distinct and identifiable units. Each entity has attributes that describe its properties and relationships with other entities, allowing for a structured way to organize and manage data. In this paradigm, entities are often modeled using Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), which visually depict the connections between different entities. This approach helps developers and database designers create efficient systems that accurately reflect the complexities of the real world, making it easier to retrieve and manipulate data.
