Task
Normalisation
Using the given table/relation, do the following:
Draw a dependency diagram to show the functional dependencies in the relation
Decompose the following table into a set of 3NF relations
Draw a relational schema for your 3NF relations and show the referential integrity constraints
Manually drawing the dependency diagrams is not acceptable.

Rationale
This assessment item is designed to test your understanding of the normalisation process based on existing data in order to minimise redundancies and data anomalies.

Decompose relation into 3NF and show relational schema for each relation and referential integrity constraints All relations in 3NF and all partial and transitive dependencies removed, each relation shows correct referential integrity constraints All relations in 3NF and all partial and transitive dependencies removed, each relation shows referential integrity constraints All relations in 3NF and all partial and transitive dependencies removed, most relations show referential integrity constraints All relations in 3NF and all partial and transitive dependencies removed, some relations show referential integrity constraints Incomplete decomposition or relations not in 3NF, no relations show integrity constraints
Create an ERD & show all entities, PK & KF attributes,
relationships, cardinality & optionality Comprehensive and accurate ERD that contains all entities, PK and FK attributes, associative entities included if required, all relationships shown and identified with correct cardinality and optionality Detailed and accurate ERD that contains all entities, PK and FK attributes, associative entities included if required, all relationships shown and identified with correct cardinality Thorough & reasonably accurate ERD that contains all entities, PK and FK attributes, associative entities included if required, all relationships shown with correct cardinality Adequate ERD that contains most entities, PK and FK attributes, associative entities included if required, all relationships shown with cardinality Incomplete or irrelevant ERD that contains some entities, relationships, and cardinality
