145) Define the following key data modeling terms: entity, attribute, relationship, degree,
cardinality, and associative entity.
Answer: An entity is a person, place, object, event, or concept in the user environment about
which the organization wishes to collect and maintain data. An attribute is a named property or
characteristic of an entity that is of interest to the organization. A relationship is an association
between the instances of one or more entity types that is of interest to the organization. Degree
defines the number of entity types that participate in a relationship. Cardinality specifies the
number of instances of entity B that can (or must) be associated with each instance of entity A.
An associative entity is a many-to-many (or one-to-one) relationship that the data modeler
chooses to model as an entity type with several associated one-to-many relationships with other
entity types.

146) Discuss unary, binary, and ternary relationships. Provide an example of each.
Answer: The number of entity types participating in a relationship defines the degree of the
relationship. The most common relationships are unary, binary, and ternary. A unary relationship
is a relationship between the instances of one entity type. An example of this type of relationship
is of the "person" entity. One person (or instance) can be married to another person (or instance).
The binary relationship is a relationship between instances of two entity types. An example of
this relationship is of a supplier and part. The binary relationship is the most common type of
relationship encountered in data modeling. The ternary relationship is a simultaneous
relationship among instances of three entity types. An example is a supplier shipping a part to a
warehouse.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 279-281

147) Contrast data modeling to process modeling and logic modeling.


Answer: Data modeling, process modeling, and logic modeling provide complimentary views of
the system. Data modeling focuses on the data that must be stored by the system. Process
modeling graphically represents the processes that capture, distribute, and store data between a
system and its environment. Logic modeling represents the internal structure and functionality of
the system.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 268-270

148) What are multivalued attributes and repeating groups? Provide an example of each.
Answer: A multivalued attribute is an attribute that may assume more than one value for each
entity instance. A repeating group is a related set of multivalued attributes. Using a student and
the courses she takes as an example, the course number, name, and grade are multivalued
attributes and repeat for each course that the student takes.
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 277

149) What is the role of CASE in conceptual modeling? What information is placed in the CASE
repository during conceptual modeling?
Answer: During conceptual modeling, CASE tools maintain E-R diagrams as a visual depiction
of structured data requirements and link objects on E-R diagrams to corresponding descriptions
in the CASE repository. Although the actual list of data elements varies, information about
entities, attributes, and relationships is maintained in the CASE repository.
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 279

150) What is a triggering operation? What components are included? Provide an example.
Answer: A triggering operation is an assertion or rule that governs the validity of data
manipulation operations such as insert, update, and delete. A triggering operation includes a user
rule, event, entity name, condition, and action. An example is an attempt to order an item that is
not currently in stock.

User rule: ORDER Quantity may not exceed PRODUCT In-Stock-Quantity


Event: Insert
Entity Name: ORDER
Condition: ORDER Quantity > PRODUCT In-Stock-Quantity
Action: Reject the insert transaction

151) Define domains for the following attributes: GPA, rank, and age.
Answer: A student's GPA is numeric with two decimal places, ranges and allows values from 0
to 4.00, is not unique, and allows null values. (An entering freshman would not have a GPA until
after her first semester.) Student rank is a numeric field, does not allow null values, and is not
unique. Assuming all students are undergraduate students, the field contains values, ranging from
1 to 4.
Diff: 2 Page Ref: 289

152) Assume you work for Technology Central, an organization that provides on-site technology
seminars for various companies. Identify at least four entities that your company would track.
Build a conceptual model.
Answer: Technology Central tracks information about its courses, staff, locations, and students.
The organization needs to identify which courses are offered at certain locations and which
instructors are teaching these classes. The company also needs to associate students with a
particular course offered at a particular location.
Diff: 3 Page Ref: 283-285

153) Briefly identify four important business rules for supertype/subtype relationships.
Answer: Total specialization, partial specialization, disjoint, and overlap are four business rules
for supertype/subtype relationships. The total specialization rule specifies that each entity
instance of the supertype must be a member of some subtype in the relationship. The partial
specialization rule specifies that an entity instance of the supertype is allowed not to belong to
any subtype. The disjoint rule specifies that if an entity instance of the supertype is a member of
one subtype, it cannot simultaneously be a member of any other subtype. The overlap rule
specifies that an entity instance can simultaneously be a member of two (or more) subtypes.

or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project
Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or
deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by
the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal
tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500


West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at
www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws


regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states


where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot


make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current


donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several


printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
