Distinguish between the following: Data Model and Data Structure.

Answer & Explanation:

Data Model Data Model can be defined as an integrated collection of concepts for describing and manipulating data, relationships between data, and constraints on the data in an organization. The purpose of a data model is to represent data and to make the data understandable. It also documents the way data is stored and retrieved. Data models facilitate communication business and technical development by accurately representing the requirements of the information system and by designing the responses needed for those requirements. Data Structure Data Structure is a particular way of storing and organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently. Data Structures is about rendering data elements in terms of some relationship, for better organization and storage. Data structures provide a means to manage large amounts of data efficiently, such as large databases and internet indexing services. Usually, efficient data structures are a key to designing efficient algorithms.
