Your Task

For this assessment, you will construct an Entity Relationship Model (ERM) for a real-world case study of an organisation and outline the business rules governing its operations and data management. Additionally, this assessment will allow you to demonstrate the concepts of database relationships, keys, and cardinalities covered in the first three weeks of the subject.

Assessment Description

This assessment evaluates your ability to construct an Entity Relationship Model (ERM) for a real world organisation that uses a relational database based on Crow’s Foot notation using MySQL Workbench. Also, it evaluates your understanding of database relationships, keys, cardinalities, and the application of business rules in database design.

This assessment aims to achieve the following subject learning outcomes:

LO1: Investigate the use of Relational Database Management Systems in organisations.

LO2: Construct database models.

Assessment Instructions

You are required to complete the following tasks:
  1. Choose a real-world organisation that uses a relational database as part of its operations. This could be a business, government agency, non-profit organisation, or other type of entity.
  2. 2. Research and identify the business rules that govern the organisation's operations and data management. Additionally, 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.
  3. Construct an Entity-Relationship Model (ERM) for the organisation's database based on the Crow’s Foot notation using MySQL Workbench. The Entity-Relationship Model Diagram (ERM) must be fully labelled and implementable by including all necessary components, such as entities, relationships, cardinalities, and constraints. Each entity should have essential attributes, including primary keys (PKs), foreign keys (FKs), and other necessary attributes.
  4. Provide a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the process you followed to create the ERM diagram, including the screenshot of the diagram during the four major construction steps (listed as the construction steps in item 7 below).
  5. Your report should follow a professional report format. You can refer to resources in the MyKBS academic success centre regarding a professional report format. Click here to learn more about the professional format for this assessment. https://elearning.kbs.edu.au/mod/page/view.php?id=400053
  6. Your report must be submitted in MS Word format. You can access free Office 365 being a KBS Student. Click here to download Office 365. https://elearning.kbs.edu.au/mod/scorm/view.php?id=323325
  7. Your report must include the following sections:
    • Introduction: Provide a brief overview of the chosen organisation, its operations, and its use of a relational database.
    • Business Rules: Identify and provide a detailed description of the business rules. You need to identify (at least 8) of the necessary business rules for your case study that govern the organisation's operations and data management. You must include at least two constraints within the business rules.
    • 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, keys, and cardinalities.
    • Construction steps: Provide step-by-step details of the ERM construction process and necessary explanation of the steps.
(1) Entities: Initial diagram with entities and descriptions
(2) Attributes: Updated diagram with attributes
(3) Relationships: Updated diagram that shows added relationships.
(4) Final ERM: The complete final ERM diagram.
Your report should include at least 4 academic sources to support your arguments. Your ERM should demonstrate your understanding of the key concepts of database relationships,keys, and cardinalities covered in the first three weeks of the course.

Please refer to the assessment marking guide to assist you in covering all the assessment criteria.
