Assessment Description

This assessment requires you to design an Entity Relationship Model (ERM) for a real-world case study of an organisation that uses a relational database as part of their operations. You will need to focus on the key concepts of database relationships and normalisation covered in the first four weeks of the course. You will need to demonstrate your ability to apply these concepts to a real-world scenario and create an ERM that accurately represents the data relationships and structures of the chosen organization's database.

Assessment Instructions

Choose an organisation that uses a relational database as part of their operations. This could be a business, government agency, non-profit organization, or other type of entity.
Research the organisation and their use of a relational database. Identify the types of data that are stored in the database, the relationships between the different data sets, and any key terminology or concepts that are relevant to the organisation's use of the database.
Design an ERM for the organisation's database, using appropriate notation and symbols to represent the data relationships and structures. Your ERM should demonstrate your understanding of the key concepts of database relationships and normalisation covered in the first four weeks of the course.
