Identifying Entities and Attributes in an Online Database

With a group of two or three of your fellow students, select an online database to explore, such as AOL Music or the Internet Movie Database. Explore these Web sites to see what information they provide. Then list the entities and attributes that they must keep track of in their databases. Diagram the relationship between the entities you have identified. If possible, use electronic presentation software to present your findings to the class.

There are hundreds of Internet Movie Databases so students will have to select the one that interests them. The Web sites for AOL Music is listed below.

With a group of two or three of your fellow students, choose server or mobile operating system to evaluate. You might research and compare capabilities and costs of Linus versus Unix or the most recent version of the Windows operating system for servers. Alternatively, you could compare the capabilities of the Android

mobile operating system with the Symbian operating system or either of these with the most recent version of the iPhone operating system (iOS).
