- "Although you always wanted to be an artist, you ended up being an expert on databases because you love to cook data and you somehow confused database with data baste. Your old love is still there, however, so you set up a database company, ArtBase, that builds a product for art galleries. The core of this product is a database with a schema that captures all the information that galleries need to maintain. Galleries keep information about artists, their names (which are unique), birthplaces, age, and style of art. For each piece of artwork, the artist, the year it was made, its unique title, its type of art (e.g., painting, lithograph, sculpture, photograph), and its price must be stored. Pieces of artwork are also classified into groups of various kinds, for example, portraits, still lifes, works by Picasso, or works of the 19th century; a given piece may belong to more than one group. Each group is identified by a name (like those just given) that describes the group.

Being economists, they are unaware of the specificities of databases and have therefore asked you to create an EER model. A large number of songs will be made available through their website, and the following information on each song needs to be stored: title, year, length, and genre. Also, artist information will be added, including date of birth, name, and a URL to a website (e.g., Wikipedia page) with additional information on the artist. You can assume an artist is uniquely identified by her name, and that a song always belongs to exactly one artist. The Musicmatic students also point out that songs having the same title are possible, and only the combination of song and artist can be assumed to be unique. The database will also have to store information on the people using Musicmatic. It was decided to only discriminate between two types of users: regular…arrow_forward
