The document is a presentation about mapping cardinality in database management systems. It defines mapping cardinality as the number of entities in one relationship set that can be associated with entities in another relationship set. It describes the four types of mapping cardinality: one-to-one, where each entity is associated with at most one entity in the other set; one-to-many, where an entity can be associated with multiple entities but each associated entity is only associated with one; many-to-one, the inverse of one-to-many; and many-to-many, where entities can be associated with multiple entities in the other set.
