The search results confirm the information needed for external links and to define the relational model and its history.
- External Link 1 (Origin): IBM's historical page on System R and SQL (https://www.ibm.com/ibm/history/exhibits/701/701_03_02d.html) mentions Edgar Codd's paper and the development of relational databases.50 also provides similar information and is more direct about Codd's paper.49 is also from IBM directly about Codd. I will use the IBM page that directly discusses Codd and his paper and the System R project.
- External Link 2 (Application in Finance): SEC's information on XBRL and structured data (https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-149) or a more general XBRL page (https://www.sec.gov/ixbrl) or (https://www.sec.gov/structureddata/osd-xbrl.html) strongly implies the use of relational principles for financial reporting.48,47,46,45,44 discuss SEC XBRL filings. I will use the SEC.gov link directly.
- External Link 3 (Limitations/Criticisms): AWS comparison of SQL vs. NoSQL (https://aws.amazon.com/compare/the-difference-between-sql-and-nosql-databases/) is a good, accessible source discussing the trade-offs.43,42,41,40,39 also touch on this.
- External Link 4 (Practical Application/Context): Corporate Finance Institute (CFI) article on data warehousing in finance (https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/data-management/data-warehousing-in-finance/) directly discusses data warehousing, which heavily uses relational models, in a financial context.38 and37 are from CFI.
All external links seem valid and accessible.
Metadata Inference:
- [TERM]: Relational model
- [RELATED_TERM]: Object-oriented database (This term is directly contrasted with relational databases in search results31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
- [TERM_CATEGORY]: Data Management (This encompasses database theory and information systems, making it appropriate for a financial context where managing data is key).
Internal Links (15 unique):
- data management
- database
- table
- row
- column
- primary key
- foreign key
- data integrity
- normalization
- query language
- structured data
- transaction processing
- data warehousing
- business intelligence
- object-oriented database
I will now proceed with writing the article following the defined structure and constraints.
The Relational model itself does not have a "formula" in the sense of a mathematical equation to calculate a value. It's a conceptual model for organizing data. Therefore, I will omit the "Formula and Calculation" section as per the instructions.
I need to make sure the term "Relational model" appears at least four times in the article, besides the H1 and introduction.
I also need to ensure each sentence referring to a Google search result ends with a citation.
And ensure all 15 internal links are used exactly once.
And 4 external links are used, all verified and live, from at least 3 different domains.
