A local bookstore wants to implement a database to manage its data efficiently. The database will contain the following information (entities)- employee, book, author, publisher, branch, and inventory. Use the following business rules to create a Crows Foot ERD. . If you discover while drawing the diagram that the scenario is incomplete, make up reasonable explanations to complete the story. Supply your explanations along with the diagram
local bookstore has branches in multiple states
Each employee works in multiple branches
Each branch has its own book inventory.
Multiple branches can have the same book in their inventory.
A book is supplied by only one publisher
A book is written by one or multiple authors

o Primary key
Relationship: Max. and Min. cardinalities: If needed, you can put your justifications on your answer document about why you use the cardinality
Description (text) of relationship between entities (e.g., takes, advises, has, etc. in Figure 4.35)
The correct number of relationships between entities
In drawing the model, use Crows foot model (notation).
