Diagrams entities (with attributes) and the relationship between
the entities.
There are many variations of E-R diagrams in use.

Entity Relationship Diagram Basics
Entity type’s attributes are shown below the separator line.
PK and boldface denote the attribute(s) that constitute the entity

Rectangular shape
OBJECT = a type of entity
Name of entity is in caps above the separator line.

In an ER diagrams, common practice is to a convention that
entity type and relationship type names are uppercase letters,
attribute names have their initial letter capitalized, and

UCOnline needs to keep track of user ratings for each item sold
in the online store (e.g., 1-5 and 1 for ‘Dislike’, to 5, for
‘Awesome!’).
A particular user rates a particular item at a given time.
A user CANNOT rate the same multiple times unless there are
multiple editions of the item. Each edition can be rated

10. separately.
Each user who submits a rating will be identified by a unique id
and has a name, gender, age, and location. Nothing is
anonymous.
There is also a social network between users. Users can send
communication requests (i.e. instant messages/emails) to other
users. Such requests can be accepted or ignored. Once accepted,
the two users are considered ‘book buddies.’ If ignored, the user
can send the request again. We want to add a store when the
requests were sent (timestamp), the result of the requests and
when the request was answered (timestamp).
