What Does Network Model Mean?
A network model is a database model that is designed as a flexible approach to representing objects and their relationships. A unique feature of the network model is its schema, which is viewed as a graph where relationship types are arcs and object types are nodes.
Techopedia Explains Network Model
Charles Bachman was the original inventor of the network model. In 1969, the Conference on Data Systems Languages (CODASYL) Consortium developed the network model into a standard specification. A second publication was introduced in 1971, which later turned into the basis for virtually all implementations. It was widely supplanted by the Relational Model later on because of its higher-level, more declarative interface.
