Dear Sir or Madam,
Because of my bachelor thesis I´m searching for a visualization-tool that is able to create entity-relationship-models (ERM). Current data is saved as an .xlsm-file – in a structure that not like an expected format for ERMs. Simply a connection between data and shapes would be possible with this data-structure. Of course, it´s possible for me to implement some program that will transform the Excel-File into an xml etc.. As part of the tool-evaluation I want to focus on following aspects:
- Support Windows: yes / no
- Support Notation Barker: yes / no
- Support Notation Martin / Crow´s Foot: yes / no
- Import Excel-Format (incl. csv, xml):
- Link – structure Excel:
- Export Image-Format (PDF, JPEG, PNG, …):
- Reverse Engineering: yes / no
- Identify / Show changes after update data-set: yes / no
- Supported Import-Formats:
- Versioning: yes / no
- Multi-User-Access to one project: yes / no
- Trial available: yes / no
- Price (in runtime x for organizations) : x€
- License type:
- Running costs (e.g. for support): x€
- Programming skills neccessary? : yes / no
These should be the content of the future ERM (semi-/automatic generated):
- Entity-names – possible: yes / no
- Relationship-names (next to arrows) – possible: yes / no
- Generalization / Specialization of entities– possible: yes / no
I haven´t found all information on your website. That´s why I´d kindly like you to give me an answer to all of these “feature requestes”.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Louisa Laudi
