The document discusses how to implement an REA (Resource-Event-Agent) model diagram in a relational database. It explains that an REA diagram can be implemented by creating tables for each entity and relationship in the diagram. Attributes are assigned to tables and foreign keys are used to represent relationships. The document provides steps for integrating individual transaction cycle diagrams into a single comprehensive REA diagram, including rules for combining redundant resources and events while preserving cardinalities.
