Data modeling tools for MongoDB
List of data modeling and database design tools.
Data modeling is the process of creating and analyzing data models for resources stored in a database. The Data Model is an abstract model that standardizes the data description, data semantic, and consistency constraints of data. Its main purpose is to represent the types of data within a system, the relationships between objects, and its attributes. The data model helps to understand what data is needed and how data should be organized. It is like a blueprint for an architect to better understand what is being created.
ER/Studio
ER/Studio provides robust logical and physical modeling and determines all data sources along with managing the transformation of data between the staging area and data warehouse. It helps to build out an enterprise data model and represent business concepts with full documentation of attributes, definitions, relationships, etc.

GenMyModel
With GenMyModel’s standard data modeling notation, data architects not only keep
glossaries and data models under control, but they can design and reverse engineer data
models and link them to other IT and business models, such as UML, Archimate and BPMN.
