DATA MODELING DEFINITION (continued):
As a result of data modeling, you can then define the classes that provide the templates for program objects. A simple approach to creating a data model that allows you to visualize the model is to draw a square (or any other symbol) to represent each individual data item that you know about (for example, a product or a product price) and then to express relationships between each of these data items with words such as "is part of" or "is used by" or "uses" and so forth.
