# Data Modeling

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/data-modeling

Data modeling is the process of creating a visual or structural representation of how data is organized, related, and stored within a system, typically through entity-relationship diagrams or schema designs. Database designers and architects use conceptual, logical, and physical data models to plan databases before implementation, ensuring data is structured efficiently and relationships between entities are clearly defined. Good data modeling improves database performance, reduces redundancy, and supports accurate reporting.
