This can be a difficult question if you are not familiar with data modeling techniques to illustrate information within processes. Entity relationship diagrams (ERDs), or business data diagrams, illustrate business objects and their mutual relationships. Cardinality and multiplicity are both aspects modeled within the ERD; a common means of doing so is via the crow’s foot notation method. Cardinality is the maximum number of times an instance in one entity can be associated with instances in a related entity. Conversely, ordinality is the minimum number of times an instance in one entity can be associated with an instance in the related entity. Multiplicity is the minimum and maximum permitted members in the set, which can include (a) one to one, (b) one to many, (c) many to one, (d) and many to many.

In regards to relationships we can distinguish two degrees of participation: total and partial. For example, if the schema requires that every employee work for a department, then the works for relationship has a total participation. Otherwise, the degree of participation is a partial one. Cardinality constraints refer to the number of instances in which an entity can participate. In this sense we can say that the works for relationship for the types DEPARTMENT:EMPLOYEE have a cardinality ratio of 1:N; in this case an employee works for only one department but a department can have more than one employee. Figure 27.9 shows an entity-relationship diagram for a small company schema.

Step 4. Identify relationships between tables Starting from the identified tables, the database structure sets relationships between tables, typically in the form of foreign keys. A main issue in this step is to articulate the cardinality of the relationships, which can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. The cardinality of relationships has a major role in the following steps, and is often related to the granularity level of the entities whose data is stored in the tables.

Apart from determining the connections among entities, a heavy emphasis is placed on determining the cardinality of such relationships. The term cardinality refers to the quantitative correspondence between two entities, which takes the form of one-to-one (1:1), one-to-many (1:n), or many-to-many (m:n) and are labeled in the ER diagram.
