On this page you can get a detailed analysis of a word or phrase, produced by the best artificial intelligence technology to date:
Entity–attribute–value model (EAV) is a data model to encode, in a space-efficient manner, entities where the number of attributes (properties, parameters) that can be used to describe them is potentially vast, but the number that will actually apply to a given entity is relatively modest. Such entities correspond to the mathematical notion of a sparse matrix.
EAV is also known as object–attribute–value model, vertical database model, and open schema.
