- ENHANCE ENTITY RELATIOSHIP DIAGRAM The entity type PERSON has the following attributes: SSN, name, address (City/State/Zip), date of birth, age, and contact number. The entity also has the three subtypes: CAMPER, BIKER, AND RUNNER. Draw a separate diagram segment for each of the following situations: 1. At a given time, a person must be exactly one of three subtypes. 2. A person may or may not be one of these subtypes. However, a person who is one of these subtypes cannot at the same time be one of the other subtypes. 3. A person may or may not be the one of these subtypes. On the other hand, a person may be any two (or even three) of these subtypes at the same time. 4. At a given time, a person must be at least one of these subtypes.arrow_forwardComputer Science After completing a course in database management, you have been hired as a summer intern by Mountain View Community Hospital. Your first assignment is to work as part of a team of three people to develop a high-level E-R diagram for the hospital. You conduct interviews with a number of hospital administrators and staff to identify the key entity types for the hospital. As a result, your team has identified the following entity types: • CARE CENTER—a treatment center within the hospital. Examples of care centers are maternity, emergency care, or multiple sclerosis center. Each care center has a care center ID (identifier) and a care center name. • PATIENT—a person who is either admitted to the hospital or is registered as an outpatient. Each patient has an identifier, the medical record number (MRN), and a name. The hospital also records the date of first contact with the hospital (Contact Date) • PHYSICIAN—a member of the hospital medical staff who may admit patients…arrow_forwardThe disjoint rule specifies that if an entity instance of the supertype is a member of one subtype, it MUST simultaneously be a member of another subtype.

Example to understand the Application idea more: For example, a person urgently needs a medical chair or bed and does not have the ability to purchase what he needs. The medical chair or bed is requested through the application, and whoever has what he requests initiates the request through the application’s messages and determines the meeting place.
