This document discusses different data models used in database management systems including record-based, relational, network, hierarchical, and entity relationship models. It provides details on each model such as how data is organized. A record-based model uses fixed-length records and fields. The relational model organizes data into tables with rows and columns. The network model links entities through multiple paths in a graph structure. The hierarchical model arranges data in a tree structure. Finally, the entity relationship model views the real world as entities and relationships between entities.
