Group Project Part 1: A Data Model
Group Project Outline
In the previous unit, you were assigned to a group to complete a project that will require you to work as part of a team and individually.
Section 1: Group section: In this part of the project, you work in a team or a group. The group needs to select a group leader and allocate responsibilities to all members. Complete the Group section by Day 4.
This design is a relational data model for a library in a small town. The library contains books, videos, newspapers, and magazines that can be checked out. It also contains reference books, videos, magazines, and newspapers that cannot be checked out.
As a group, examine the data model and identify problems with or errors in the design. In a Microsoft Word document, capture the table definitions, definitions of (key and non-key) fields, and the relationships in the diagram when looking for problems and errors. These project components are further described as follows:
The table definitions
The definitions of the primary key fields
The relationships in the diagram
Section 2: Individual section: Individually, report your group analysis describing the errors or problems in a 2- to 3-page document in APA format. Then, explain in words how to make changes to the diagram to fix those errors or issues. This part of the project requires you to think and plan for the project as a leader. This means that you have to think, execute, and review until you are satisfied with the outcome. After an in-depth analysis, finalize your report for discussion with your team
