Overview: The internet is an ideal medium for locating missing persons, cats, phones, bicycles, artwork etc. etc... For example, see the cat finder site. Some of the issues in developing a service to help find missing things ("subjects") concern requirements modelling, implementation and communication. There are many web sites available for other subjects and many ideas as to how the task should be carried out. These sites have different business models, different ways of submitting data (email, Web, SMS) different approaches to privacy, different data models and of course different server-side technologies. Before developing a site for a different subject area, it is useful to look at similar sites, to consider what data model supports the site and what functionality it supports. In this coursework you will undertake three work packages, each of which must be checked and reviewed by a tutor (via email) before proceeding to the next work item. These work packages lead to the development or the research prior to the development of a small part of a new site to support your selected subject. WP1. Reverse Engineering (20 marks) Analyze the UK Missing People site and document the presumed data model (using QSEE, MySQL Workbench or any other tool), adding suitable comments to the data model as explanation. Keys, relationships, and data types for attributes should be shown. Comments may be added at the level of model, entity, attribute, type, or relationship. The purpose of this part of the work is to ensure that you are familiar with ER modelling and concepts. A good mark in this work package will be gained for a rich, informative, and accurate data model. Deliverable: Commented data model to be viewed as a diagram (a gif or png) embedded in a html file.
