Business Case: Art
museum

An art museum owns a large volume of work of art. Each work of art is described by an
item code (identifier), title, type, and size; size is further composed of
height, width, and weight. A work
of art is developed by an artist, but the artist for some works is
unknown. An artist is described by
an artist ID (identifier), name, date of birth, and date of death (which is
null for still living artists). Only
data about artists for works currently owned b the museum are kept in the
database. At any point in time, a
work of art is either on display at the museum, held in storage, away from the
museum as part of a graveling show, or on loan to another gallery. If on display at the museum, a work of
art is also described by its location within the museum. A traveling show is described by a show
ID (identifier), the city in which the show is currently appearing, and the
start and end dates of the show.
Many of the museum works may be part of a given show, and only active
shows with at least one museum work of art need be represented in the
database. Finally, another gallery
is described by a gallery ID (identifier), name, and city. The museum wants to retain a complete
history of loaning a work of art to other galleries, and each time a work is
loaned the museum wants to know the date the work is loaned and the date it was
returned. As you develop the ERD
for this problem, follow good data naming guidelines.
