Assignment 6. FP 4. Correcting the E-R Diagram

In this assignment, the previously created EER-Diagram will be corrected and
submitted again.
Every group have to show its diagram to the instructor, better if printed in a piece
of paper, who will point out the main mistakes to students during lab hours. Also,
the diagram will be graded as “pass” or “not pass”.

0. Deliverable

Date: This assignment is due by Monday October 31st at 23:55 (debe entregarse
ANTES del lunes 31 de octubre a las 23:55).

A compressed file (zip or rar) containing the following documents with the infor-
mation detailed in this handout will be delivered by the due date:

1. A .DIA, .VSD, .vsdx (draw.io) or .GraphML file named “Database-

Name.ERDiagram.v2.VSD/ DIA/GraphML”.with the ER Diagram agreed
by all the group members after reviewing it.

2. A pdf file named DatabaseName.ERDiagram.v2.pdf with the previous ER

Diagram

3. A pdf file with the updated workload table and named

“GX.FP4.WorkloadTable.pdf”

Students will use the Task 6 to submit this assignment and the same student that did
it last time will upload it again.

He or she will submit a compressed file (in zip or rar) named:

GX.AA_RD_JP.FP4.zip standing for:

G: Group

X: Group Number. Will be 1, 2, and so on.

AA_RD_JP: Ana Alvarez, Rosa Diaz, Juan Perez

FP4 Final Project 4

Students will attend to Lab F3 with their diagram solution. They will use lab
time for working in the assignment and for clarifying questions with the professor,
when necessary.

1. Visio, DIA, draw.io, yEd Graph or any other editable file

after reviewing it

Students in each group have to review and modify their ER diagrams and they will
correct possible errors in their previously submitted designs.

They have to correct ONLY the editable file submitting both the editable file and its
corresponding pdf file. It is not necessary to correct and to draw again the diagrams cre-
ated by hand.

Students must check out that their design (and previous submission) is free of the
following possible errors:

1. The individual EER diagrams have been submitted in the previous assign-
ment.

2. The pdf and source (editable) file have been submitted.

3. Your diagram is tidy and clean.

4. You have colored the 3 different parts with different colors.

5. There are at least 3 weak entity sets in the diagram.

6. There is at least a ternary relationship or (BETTER) an aggregation.

7. Your design contains all the special attributes indicated in assignment 5 (6

composite attributes, 3 multivalued, 12 NULLs, 6 derived ones).

8. You are representing your diagram using the same notation (symbol conven-
tion) that has been explained and used during the lectures.

9. ISA design constraints are correctly depicted in each inheritance.

10. All entity sets have a primary identifier.

11. In inheritances, children have NOT primary identifier (because they inherit it
from the parent).

12. All your primary identifiers are not "ID something", and when you have an
“ID something” it makes some sense in the real problem and you also have a
candidate key for the same entity set.

13. You are not confusing composite attributes with multivalued ones.

And any other mistake they could be able to find.

Please, do a checklist if necessary.

3. Visio, DIA or yEd Graph editable file printed as pdf

Using their Visio, DIA or yEd Graph file, the students will print it as a pdf file and
they also will submit it. The file will be named as “Database-
Name.ERDiagram.VSD/DIA/yEd”.

4. Workload table

Update the workload table with the information from this assignment.

For those groups with a tutor assigned, the workload table will also register if the
Tutor helped. The degree of help will be measured on a Likert scale, with a 1 when the
help is very low and a 5 when the help was excellent (the maximum value). In case the
Tutor did not help at all, a "0" will be registered in the corresponding row.

For example, for the group 1, with members Ana Alvarez, Rosa Diaz and Juan Perez
and having a Tutor named Ramón Sánchez (R.S.), the Workload table will look like this
one:
Group 1 FP1 Agree? … FP4 Agree? … FP7 Agr Over
(Tas (Task6) (Task ee? all
k3) 9)

A.A. 34 Y … 20 N … 45 Y 43

R.D. 33 Y … 50 Y … 40 Y 27

J.P. 33 Y … 30 Y … 15 Y 30

Tutor (Ini- 1 … 3 … 5 9
tials) R.S.

Comments: C1 … C2 …

C1: The extra point (34% vs. 33%) goes to Ana for coordinating the work.

C2: Ana does not agree with the distribution of the workload presented in the table.
She says that tasks X1, X2, X3 y X4 have been carried out on time by herself. Rosa and
Juan think that it is true, but they also think they worked a lot more. Furthermore, Ana
did not attend to a last meeting when the final revision was accomplished.
