Generating an ERD for enterprise architecture involves analyzing project requirements and defining entities, attributes, and relationships. The process outputs visual Mermaid ERDs and detailed entity catalogs to guide database design and API specifications.

Tracing data model entities to business requirements is achieved by mapping data requirements directly to model entities and attributes. This traceability ensures that every defined data structure serves an explicit business need within the governance matrix.

You do not need specific external dependencies to design enterprise data models, as this skill operates independently using internal scripts and references. It requires only your project requirements and stakeholder input to generate the necessary architecture artifacts.

The best way to document data structures for API specifications is to generate comprehensive Markdown documents containing entity catalogs and relationship definitions. This ensures data integrity and provides clear guidance for downstream implementation.
