The business problem
Lucas manages a local art shop in Victoria. Artists can bring their artwork, such as
paintings, sculptures, ceramics, and handcrafted jewelry, to the shop for sale. Lucas
wants to develop a database to keep track of artists and the artworks they consign.
Each time an artist brings in their items, Lucas uses the stored data to generate a
receipt for them. Occasionally, Lucas has to arrange a pickup service for artists when
they cannot deliver the items in person. It's important for him to record how the
artwork was received, whether through pickup or instore delivery. A sample receipt for
items is provided below.
The estimated age, price, and current market value of each piece of artwork vary
depending on the item. Some artworks can be sold individually or as part of a collection
or set. For example, a painting can be sold by itself or as part of a set of works by the
same artist, such as a jewelry set that contains a necklace and earrings. Lucas wants to
track which artworks are individual items and which are part of another artwork or set
creating a hierarchical structure between artworks.
Artworks are categorized into types such as "paintings," "sculptures," "ceramics,"
"jewelry," etc. Each item is assigned to one category. Lucas also wants to track the
target stocking level for each category eg he aims to have paintings in stock and
the actual quantity of items on hand in each category.
