The data requirements for maintaining the organizations data are as follows:

The Dubai Recording Studio (DRS) is an organization that maintains information about its member orchestras and the recordings they have made. Each orchestra has at least one and possibly many musicians. (In this case, the modality expressing at least one is a technicality. Certainly an orchestra must have many musicians.) A musician might not work for any orchestra (perhaps she is currently unemployed but DRS wants to keep track of her anyway) or may work for just one orchestra. A musician may not be a college graduate or may have several college degrees. A degree belongs to just one musician (for the moment we ignore the possibility that more than one musician earned the same degree from the same university in the same year). Since the DEGREE entity is dependent on the MUSICIAN entity, the unique identifier for DEGREE is the combination of the Musician Number and Degree (e.g. B.A.) attributes.

An orchestra may have made no recordings of a particular composition or may have made many. In the reverse direction, a composition may not have been recorded by any orchestra but we still want to maintain data about it or may have been recorded by many orchestras. For a particular recording, we note the year of the recording and the retail price, as intersection data of the many-to-many relationship between orchestras and compositions. In fact, RECORDING is an associative entity. A composer may have several compositions to his credit but must have at least one to be of interest to DRS. A composition is associated with exactly one composer. COMPOSITION is a dependent entity to COMPOSER, which means that the unique identifier of COMPOSITION is the combination of Composer Name and Composition Name. After all, there could be Beethovens Third Symphony and Mozarts Third Symphony. This has an important implication for the RECORDING associative entity. To uniquely identify a recording (and attach the year and price intersection data to it) requires an Orchestra Name, Composition Name, and Composer Name.
