Logical Data Model

A detailed, technology-independent model that defines entities, attributes, keys, relationships and normalization.

Definition

Logical models add attributes, primary and foreign keys and cardinality, usually normalized, but do not specify DBMS data types or storage.

Exam tip

A logical model is DBMS-independent; adding vendor data types makes it physical.
