Database Design and Management
Assessment - Case Study Analysis and Design
Your Task
This assessment is to be completed individually. In this assessment, you will design an Entity Relationship Model  (ERM) for a real-world case study of an organisation that uses a  relational database, focusing on the key concepts of database  relationships and normalisation.
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
You are required to complete the following tasks:
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.
Write a report that explains the design choices you made in  creating the ERM and how they relate to the key concepts of database  relationships and normalisation. Your report should be submitted in Word  Document or PDF format and include the following sections:
Introduction: Provide a brief overview of the chosen organisation and their use of a relational database.
Entity  Relationship Model Design: Present your ERM design, using appropriate  notation and symbols to represent the data relationships and structures.  Explain the design choices you made and how they relate to the key  concepts of database relationships and normalisation.
Application in  the Chosen Organisation: Analyse the organisation's use of a relational  database, including the types of data stored, the relationships between  data sets, and any key terminology or concepts that are relevant to  their use of the database. Discuss how your ERM design reflects and  supports the organisation's use of a relational database.
Conclusion:  Summarise the key points of your report and provide recommendations for  how the organization could improve their use of a relational database. A  summary of your design decisions and any limitations of your database  design.
The report should be no more than 1500 words and should  include at least 8 academic sources to support your arguments. You must  use KBS referencing and citation to acknowledge the sources of your  information.
