1. Question : (TCO 1) Designing a database often involves obtaining different
perspectives from various sources to gather information. Discuss
the importance of end user interviews in the data requirements
gathering process.
Student Answer: Data modeling helps to understand the informationBIS 245 Week 8 Final
requirements. Data modeling differs according to the type of the
business, because the business processes or each sector is
different, and it needs to be identified in the modeling stage.
Initial step is the analyzing the situation, gather data. Data
modeling process starts with requirement gatherings. When
developing the proper data model it is important to
communicate with the stakeholders about the requirements.
Data modeling is the act of exploring data oriented structures.
This can be used for variety of purposes. One of the important
functions of data modeling is that, it helps to understand the
information requirements. Especially this makes both developers
and end users lives easier. As mentioned above, data modeling
helps the end users to define their requirements, and the
developers are able to develop a system to meet those specified
requirements.

Question 2. Question : (TCO 2) Explain the purpose of a conceptual database model and
describe the most common method of creating one.
Student Answer: A conceptual data model is a summary-level data model that is
most often used on strategic data projects. It typically describes
an entire enterprise. Due to its highly abstract nature, it may be
referred to as a conceptual model. Enterprise-wide coverage of
the business concepts. Think Customer, Product, Store,
Location, Asset. Designed and developed primarily for a business
audience Contains around 20-50 entities (or concepts) with no
or extremely limited number of attributes described. Sometimes
architects try to limit it to printing on one page. Contains
relationships between entities, but may or may not included to
the database. Designed and developed to be independent of
DBMS, data storage locations or technologies. In fact, it would
address digital and non-digital concepts. This means it would
model paper records and artifacts as well as database artifacts.
Comments:
Question 3. Question : (TCO 4) Explain the terms entity and attribute. Describe an
example of an entity and then list two attributes. Using your
examples, explain the data types that would be used to capture the
attributes.
Student Answer: In clinical data, the entity is typically a clinical event, as
described above. In more general-purpose settings, the entity is
a foreign key into an "objects" table that records common
information about every "object" (thing) in the database at the
minimum, a preferred name and brief description, as well as the
category/class of entity to which it belongs. Every record
(object) in this table is assigned a machine-generated object ID.
The "objects table" is now standard in most large bioinformaticsBIS 245 Week 8 Final
databases. The use of an objects table does not mandate the
concurrent use of an EAV design: conventional tables can be
used to store the category-specific details of each object. In the
EAV table itself, this is just an attribute ID, a foreign key into an
Attribute Definitions table, as stated above. However, there are
usually multiple metadata tables that contain attribute-related
information, and these are discussed shortly.
Comments:
Question 4. Question : (TCO 4) Explain 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF as related to database
design.
Student Answer: The database utilized for the design for data entry. This makes it
possible that all information is all input into individual table of
categories. This makes it impossible for information to not be
duplicated and do not repeat themselves. 1NF :As per 1NF, no
two rows of data must contain repeating group of information. In
all, each table must be organized into rows, and each row should
have a primary key that distinguishes it as unique. 2NF: As per
2NF, There must not be any partial dependency of any column
on primary key. 3NF: As per 3NF,every non-prime attribute of
table must be dependent on primary key. It removes the
transitive dependency . Therefore, by noting all of the
information if the 1NF, 2NF and 3NF make it possible to fulfill all
of the information needed to complete the database. This is a
very important contribution to make a report and get a clear
table all of data.
