ER & EER Modelling Assignment 2024 COMP1711/COMP8711

Assignment - Entity & Extended Entity Relationship Diagrams


This assignment requires you to work individually on the following three scenarios to create ERD
diagrams.

Diagramming Tools
There are a number of free tools available for drawing ERD’s (preferred), however you are permitted to
draw them by hand (ensure they are legible).
One product that is very good is Visual Paradigm and they offer a “Community Edition” for Windows,
Mac and Linux.
This is free product and downloads can be found at:
https://www.visual-paradigm.com/download/community.jsp.

The default is Windows, but if you click on “More Options” it will display the Mac and Linux downloads.

Marking
Marking will be based on the completeness of the model and will include all cardinalities and connec-
tivities.

The assignment is worth 20% of your final mark for the topic and will be weighted as follows:

Scenario 1: 5 marks

Scenario 2: 8 marks

Scenario 3: 7 marks

Submission
The submission date is Monday, September 30 at 4:00pm

Submission will be in the form of one pdf document handed in to the submission box on Canvas.

Scenarios
Scenario 1.

Create a complete ERD in Crow’s Foot notation that can be implemented in the relational model
using the following description of operations. Hot Water (HW) is a small start-up company that
sells spas. HW does not carry any stock. A few spas are set up in a simple warehouse so customers
can see some of the models available, but any products sold must be ordered at the time of the
sale.

• HW can get spas from several different manufacturers.


• Each manufacturer produces one or more different brands of spas.
• Each and every brand is produced by only one manufacturer.
• Every brand has one or more models.
• Every model is produced as part of a brand. For example, Iguana Bay Spas is a manufacturer
that produces Big Blue Iguana spas, a premium-level brand, and Lazy Lizard spas, an entry-
level brand. The Big Blue Iguana brand offers several models, including the BBI-6, an 81-jet
spa with two 6-hp motors, and the BBI-10, a 102-jet spa with three 6-hp motors.
• Every manufacturer is identified by a manufacturer code. The company name, address, area
code, phone number, and account number are kept in the system for every manufacturer.
• For each brand, the brand name and brand level (premium, mid-level, or entry-level) are kept
in the system.
• For each model, the model number, number of jets, number of motors, number of horsepower
per motor, suggested retail price, HW retail price, dry weight, water capacity, and seating
capacity must be kept in the system.

Scenario 2.

Use the following business rules to create a Crow’s Foot ERD. Write all appropriate connectivities
and cardinalities in the ERD.

• A department employs many employees, but each employee is employed by only one de-
partment.
• Some employees, known as “rovers,” are not assigned to any department.
• A division operates many departments, but each department is operated by only one division.
• An employee may be assigned many projects, and a project may have many employees
assigned to it.
• A project must have at least one employee assigned to it.
• One of the employees manages each department, and each department is managed by only
one employee.
• One of the employees runs each division, and each division is run by only one employee.

The following question requires Extended Entity Relationship Modelling.


Scenario 3.

The FlyRight Aircraft Maintenance (FRAM) division of the FlyRight Company (FRC) performs
all maintenance for FRC’s aircraft. Produce a data model segment that reflects the following
business rules:

• All mechanics are FRC employees. Not all employees are mechanics.
• Some mechanics are specialized in engine (EN) maintenance. Others are specialized in
airframe (AF) maintenance or avionics (AV) maintenance. (Avionics are the electronic com-
ponents of an aircraft that are used in communication and navigation.) All mechanics take
periodic refresher courses to stay current in their areas of expertise. FRC tracks all courses
taken by each mechanic–date, course type, certification (Y/N), and performance.
• FRC keeps an employment history of all mechanics. The history includes the date hired,
date promoted, and date terminated.

Given those requirements, create the Crow’s Foot EERD segment.
