[Tex/LaTex] TikZ diagram, placement of nodes, dotted line

diagramstikz-pgf

This is my very first TikZ diagram, so please bear with my beginner's ignorance of things that are probably very basic. I'm trying to get a diagram close to the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\matrix[matrix of nodes,
    column 1/.style={anchor=east,align=right,color=purple},
    column 2/.style={anchor=center,text centered,align=center},
    column 3/.style={anchor=center,text centered,align=center},
minimum width=2cm,minimum height=2cm] (a) {

row1 & \node[draw]{text1}; & \node[draw]{text2}; \\
row2 & \node[draw]{double\\text3}; & \node[draw]{text4}; \\
{} & \node[anchor=south]{col1}; & \node[anchor=south]{col2}; \\
};
  \node at (1,2.5) [fill=white!100] {\emph{is}};
  \node at (1,0.5) [fill=white!100] {\emph{is not}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Which gives me:

Which is almost what I want. But, I was trying to get the column desriptions closer to border of the node above, and couldn't figure it out. I know from the pgf-manual that in order to move it up I have to use the "south" anchor but for some reason it wouldn't move.

The second thing (clarified):
The vertical border between node "text1" and node "text2" should not be drawn and in the row below
the vertical border between node "text3" and node "text4" should be a dotted line.

Any help much appreciated!

After your clarification I would suggest this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,calc}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[% define styles for row labels and col labels here
    row style/.style={color=purple},%
    col style/.style={},%
]
\matrix[matrix of nodes,%
    column 1/.style={anchor=center,text centered,align=center},%
    column 2/.style={anchor=center,text centered,align=center},%
    minimum width=2cm,minimum height=2cm] (m) {%
  text1 &  text2 \\
  text3 &  text4 \\
};
  % column labels
  \node[col style,below=2mm of m-2-1] {col1}; 
  \node[col style,below=2mm of m-2-2] {col2};

  % row labels
  \node[row style,left=2mm of m-1-1] {row1}; 
  \node[row style,left=2mm of m-2-1] {row2};  

  % border around matrix
  \draw (m-1-1.north west) rectangle (m-2-2.south east); 

  % vertical dotted line
  \draw[dotted] (m-2-1.north east) -- (m-2-1.south east);

  % horizontal line
  \draw (m-1-1.south west) -- (m-1-2.south east);

  % place label between text1 and text2
  \node at ($(m-1-1)!.5!(m-1-2)$) [fill=white!100] {\emph{is}};

  % place label between text3 and text4
  \node at ($(m-2-1)!.5!(m-2-2)$) [fill=white!100] {\emph{is not}};  
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Tikz diagram: nodes with arrows

This solution draw the diagram via tikz. Two styles are defined for blocks and lines respectively. To draw a line, label.anchor is used where anchor=north, south, east, and west.

enter image description here

Code

\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,arrows}
\tikzset{
block/.style={
  draw, 
  rectangle, 
  minimum height=1.5cm, 
  minimum width=3cm, align=center
  }, 
line/.style={->,>=latex'}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}

\node[block] (a) {Sociogram\\ Develoment};
\node[block, above right = 0.2cm and 2cm of a] (b) {Inter-Action \\Modeling};
\node[block, below =2cm of b]   (c){Responsibilites\\ Modeling};
\node[block, right =2cm of b]   (d){Interaction\\ Modeling};
\node[block, right =2cm of c]   (e){Work in-group\\ Task Modeling};

\draw[line] (a.north) |- (b.west);
\draw[line] (a.south) |- (c.west);
\draw[line] (e.north) -- (d.south);
\draw[line] ([xshift=-1cm]b.south) -- ([xshift=-1cm]c.north);
\draw[line] ([xshift=1cm]c.north) -- ([xshift=1cm]b.south);
\draw[] (b.east) -- ++(10pt,0) coordinate[yshift=-1.7cm](l){} |- (c.east);
\draw[<->,>=latex'] (d.west) -- ++(-10pt,0) coordinate[yshift=-1.7cm,](r){} |- (e.west);
\draw[-] ([xshift=1cm]c.north) -- ([xshift=1cm]b.south);
\draw[line] (l) -- (r);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] TikZ/ERD: node (=Entity) label on the inside

I guess this is one way of doing it:

\documentclass[tikz,border=5]{standalone}

\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\begin{document}
\tikzset{
    entity/.code={
        \tikzset{
            rounded corners,             
            name=#1,
            inner sep=2pt,
            every entity/.try,
        }%
        \def\entityname{#1}%
    },
    entity anchor/.style={matrix anchor=#1},
    every entity/.style={
            draw,
    },
    every property/.style={
        inner xsep=0.20cm, inner ysep=0.075cm, anchor=west, text width=1.75in
    }
}
\def\property#1{\node[name=\entityname-#1, every property/.try]{\propertysplit#1;};}
\def\properties{\begingroup\catcode`\_=11\relax\processproperties}
\def\processproperties#1{\endgroup%
    \gdef\propertycode{}%
    \foreach \p in {#1}{%
        \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\gdef\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\propertycode%
            \expandafter\expandafter\expandafter{\expandafter\propertycode\expandafter\property\expandafter{\p}\\}%
    }%
    \propertycode%
}
\def\propertysplit#1:#2;{#1:\hfill#2}

\def\entitynamenode{%
\node[every entity name/.try] (\entityname-name) {\entityname};
\draw (\entityname-name.south west) -- (\entityname-name.south east);
\\[1ex]
}
\tikzset{
  every entity name/.style={every property/.try, align=center}
}

\begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={font=\ttfamily}, node distance=0.5in]
\matrix [entity=Employee] {
    \entitynamenode
    \properties{
        Username :  varchar(255),
        Password :  varchar(255),        
        Name :  varchar(255),
        LastName :  varchar(255)
    }
};
\end{tikzpicture}   

\end{document}
