The document provides instructions for creating an entity relationship diagram (ERD) to represent business data requirements. It specifies using Microsoft Word or Visio, naming each entity, listing primary keys, including associative entities and their identifiers, and resolving many-to-many relationships. Additionally, it emphasizes marking cardinalities and modalities and submitting the ERD in a Word document.

1. Create an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) to represent the
data requirements of the business. Use Microsoft Word or Visio
to create this ERD.
Note
: if using Visio to create your ERD to save your assignment as a
VSD file rather than as a Word document.
Each entity must be named and the identifier(s) (primary key)
listed. Include associate entities and supply identifiers for these
also. If a primary key identifier is not specifically mentioned,
create one! Make sure that you include identifiers for the
associative entities also.
Resolve Many-to-Many relationships into two relationships.
All cardinalities and modalities should be clearly marked on the
ERD. Attributes other than the identifiers may be included.
Submit your ERD in a Word document.
