Cardinality Cardinality refers to the number of times
instances in one entity can be related to instances in another entity One instance in an entity refers to one and only one
instance in the related entity (1:1)

Cardinality I find it helpful to use this sentence:
A single <instance> <relationship> in at most <either 1 or many> <entity>.

Modality Modality refers to the minimum number of
times that an instance in one entity can be related to an instance in another entity One means that an instance in the related entity must
exist for an instance in another entity to be valid

Modality I find it helpful to use this sentence:
A single <instance> <relationship> in at least <either 0 or 1> <entity>.

Modality Modality refers to the minimum number of
times that an instance in one entity can be related to an instance in another entity One means that an instance in the related entity must
exist for an instance in another entity to be valid Zero means that no instance in the related entity is
necessary for an instance in another entity to be valid

Steps in Building ERDs Identify the entities Add appropriate attributes for each entity Draw the relationships that connect
associated entities
![Page 21: Data Modeling using Entity Relationship Diagramming (ERD)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649e165503460f94b00727/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ERD Building Tips Data stores of the DFD should correspond
to entities Only include entities with more than one
instance of information Don’t include entities associated with
implementation of the system, not the system itself
![Page 22: Data Modeling using Entity Relationship Diagramming (ERD)](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649e165503460f94b00727/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Balancing ERDs with DFDs All analysis activities are interrelated Process models contain two data components
Data flows and data stores The DFD data components need to balance the ERD’s data
stores (entities) and data elements (attributes) Many CASE tools provide features to check for imbalance Check that all data stores and elements correspond between
models Do not follow thoughtlessly -- check that the models make
sense!

Recall: on-line university registration (from Use Case & DFD examples)
The system should enable the staff of each academic department to examine the course offered by their department, add and remove course, and change the information about them (e.g., the maximum number of students). It should permit students to examine currently available courses, add and drop courses to and from their schedules, and examine the course for which they are enrolled. Department staff should be able to print a variety of reports about the courses and the students enrolled in them. They system should ensure that no student takes too many course and that students who have any unpaid fees are not permitted to register. (Assume that a fees data store is maintained by the university's financial office that the registration system accesses but does not change.)

Recall: real estate (from Use Case & DFD examples)
A Real Estate Inc. (AREI) sells houses. People who want to sell their houses sign a contract with AREI and provide information on their house. This information is kept in a database by AREI and a subset of this information is sent to the citywide multiple-listing service used by all real estate agents. AREI works with two types of potential buyers. Some buyers have an interest in one specific house. In this case, AREI prints information from its database, which the real estate agent uses to help show the house to the buyer (a process beyond the scope of the system to be modeled). Other buyers seek AREI’s advice in finding a house that meets their needs. In this case, the buyer completes a buyer information form that is entered into a buyer database, and AREI real estate agents use its information to search AREI’s database and the multiple-listing service for houses that meet their needs. The results of these searches are printed and used to help the real estate agent show houses to the buyer.
