Elaborating passive data structures based on the analysis of data requirements for the purpose of designing and implementing standardised data formats, databases and data processing systems.
Data modeling consist of gathering requirements and knowledge about the data needed to solve a given problem, and elaborating abstract data structures for the purpose of designing and implementing standardised data formats, databases and data processing systems.
Data-modeling is a specialized kind of modeling solely focused on passive data structures, and independent of the description of the processing of that data.
