It is included as a fundamental topic in the ACM/IEEE recommended curriculum on computer science and information systems. Today, it is very likely to find at least one chapter on the ER model when a person randomly picks up a college textbook on information system design or databases. It is also very likely to walk into a college classroom to attend a class on information management and see that the ER modeling is being taught there. For example, at LSU, the ER model is being taught in 3 different colleges: the Computer Science department in College of Basic Sciences , the Information Systems and Decision Sciences Department in College of Business , and the Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Systems Department in the College of Engineering. In other universities, the ER model is also taught in a variety of departments and colleges. For example, at Berkeley, the ER model is being taught in 2 or 3 courses at the School of Information Management. As another example, the ER model is being taught in the Computational-Biology/bioinformatics programs at University of Pennsylvania, Drexel, University of Virginia, and Hong Kong University. There are more examples of college courses covering the ER model.

Based on one particular citation database, Chen's paper is the 35th most cited article in Computer Science. It is the 4th most downloaded paper from the ACM Digital Library in January 2005 (Communications of ACM, March 2005) even though the paper was published 30 years ago.

The ER model was adopted as the meta model for the ANSI Standard in Information Resource Directory System (IRDS), and the ER approach has been ranked as the top methodology for database design and one of the top methodologies in systems development by several surveys of FORTUNE 500 companies.

The hypertext concept, which makes the World Wide Web extremely popular, is very similar to the main concept in the ER model. Dr. Peter Chen is currently investigating this linkage as an invited expert of several XML working groups of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

Professor Peter Chen's work is cited heavily in a book published in 1993 for general public called Software Challenges published by Time-Life Books as a part of the series on "Understanding Computers".

[edit] Serious work needed

Half of it the article is about the ER model and shouldn't be here in the first place. Also, Wikipedia is not for self-promotion, and unverified claims in phrases like "mostly-cited", "significant impact", "extremely popular", "laid foundations for recent work" shouldn't be here. Let alone the fact that the author links to this wikipedia article from his personal web page so as to enhance his credibility... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.105.181.38 (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Info on Codd and Date

Need more information about Chen's involvement with Edgar Codd and Chris Date, the inventors of the relational model. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.38.97.10 (talk) 17:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
