crow feet notation in enterprise atchitect - data-modeling

I am using Enterprise Architect (version 10.0) and would like to see crow's feet notation in my ER model. so I have changed the setting to 'Information Engineering' then the notation is diappeared. Now i can't see any notation in the model.
Any help really appreciated. Thanks

EDITED - To see Crows feet, you may have to use the 'association' connector from the data modeling toolbox, Using the ERD connector isn't reflecting it)

Using pre-annotated dataset to do NER on a custom entities in the IBM Cloud

I've been searching the documentation for a way to use a pre-annotated dataset to do NER on a custom entities in the IBM Cloud.
I haven't been able to find a way to do it.
Is it something that is possible to do with Watson Knowledge Studio and/or Natural Language Understanding ?
Can you point me toward the right ressources ?
Thanks in advance
You can train your customized model with Watson Knowledge Studio. See Adding documents for annotation for the format of pre-annotated documents you can import to WKS.

Connector shape in Crow's Foot Diagram in Visio 2013

How to connect one entity with its sub-entities?
For example, I have an entity named PEOPLE. PEOPLE has two sub-entities, TEACHER and STUDENT. In old version Visio, there are a 'Category' shape and a 'Category to child' connector that allow to add branches. But Visio 2013 totally changed the shape in Crow's Foot Database Notation, and there is only one 'relationship' connector. How to connect child-entities to the parent-entity in Visio 2013?
I was in the same situation today.
I found a solution which might not be useful for you today, but may help others like me.
Solution is very simple, you just have to drag a new connector and connect with the main connector.
If someone have a better answer please post here. Thanks

What is the difference between UML Data profile and ER model?

I have been asked this question and even after a lot of research, I cannot find the answer.
When I design a database using Entity relationship (ER) and then re-draw it as UML class model (extended with Data modeling profile for UML), what are the differences and how both models can be (in their way) useful for db developer? With regard to multiplicity, foreign keys..
UML class - model doesn't support views, stored procedures, triggers and databases elements. ER does.
There is NO data modelling profile over class diagram in UML. look a search. It seams, it is a special feature of IBM, but they don't keep to UML.
We can draw anything on the newly-invented diagram language. But what is the use of it? If you are really interested, study the pdf.

Using crow's feet notation in data modelling in enterprise architect

I am only able to use connectors in enterprise architect with traditional 0..* style multiplicity rather than crow's feet connectors. I've tried using different drawing styles and still cannot work out how to change the connectors. Any help would be very much appreciated :)
I found a way to use the crow's foot notation. Actually it's pretty simple. Here's how to do it:
Right-click data-diagram and select properties (you can do it in the working area directly or through browsing the Project Browser).
Navigate to the Connectors tab.
On the right side you'll see a small section labeled "Connector Notation", there you select "Information Engineering" and that's it!

Is there more beautiful database drawing software than visio?

I want to know if you know other beautiful database drawing software other than visio.
Because i think visio is not delegant enough. So Can you give me some advice?
Thanks a lot.
I do not know Visio, but I have been using Dia for almost 10 years, and it's great. It's also free (as in speech).
Some people have compared Dia favorably to Visio.
Try www.magicdraw.com.
It produces beautiful diagrams.
Oracle Designer is the best i have ever used. however, it does not come cheap...
SQL Server has built in functions to create graphs.
Saves you from creating a graph first and than the db schema.
MySql Workbench is a nice Designer and free. The only drawback I find is that it only produce scripts for mysql.
