Chapter 02 – Data modelling

For the descriptions below, perform the following tasks:


i. Identify the degree and cardinalities of the relationship.
ii. Express the relationships in each description graphically with an E-R diagram.
The Vietnam National Museum need to build up a database system that is able to store
different information. The requirements are as follow:
 Each work of art is described by an item code (identifier), title, type, and size; size
is further composed of height, width, and weight
 A work of art is developed by an artist, but the artist for some works is unknown.
 An artist is described by an artist ID (identifier), name, date of birth, and date of
death (which is null for still living artists).
 Only data about artists for works currently owned by the museum are kept in the
database.
 A status of an art work is identified as: display at the museum, held in storage,
away from the museum as part of a traveling show, or on loan to another gallery.
 If on display at the museum, a work of art is also described by its location within
the museum.
 A traveling show is described by a show ID (identifier), the city in which the show
is currently appearing, and the start and end dates of the show. Many of the
museum works may be part of a given show, and only active shows with at least
one museum work of art need be represented in the database.
 Gallery is described by a gallery ID (identifier), name, and city. The museum
wants to retain a complete history of loaning a work of art to other galleries, and
each time a work is loaned, the museum wants to know the date the work was
loaned and the date it was returned.
