MC Consider the following EER model of a database which stores information about scientific publications.

Which statement is CORRECT? According to the EER model, an author can be a reviewer of his/her own peer reviewed paper. correct According to the EER model, two journals can never have the same title, even when they are being published by different publishers. incorrect According to the EER model, a scientific article can be at the same time a peer reviewed paper and a technical report. incorrect The EER model has weak entity types, but no existence dependent entity types. incorrect
MC Given the following EER specialisation:

According to the model, which of the following statements is CORRECT? A supermarket product can be a food and non-food product at the same time. incorrect All food products are either Fruits&Vegetables or meat. incorrect There are certain supermarket products that are not Fruits&Vegetables, not meat and not non-food. correct A meat product does not have any attributes types. incorrect
MC 
Given the ER model above, which of the following statements is CORRECT? A director of a movie can also act in the same movie. correct Producer is an existence dependent entity type. incorrect A movie can have multiple actors, producers and directors. incorrect A movie can have as many lead actors as there are in the movie. incorrect
MC Which variables types are not directly supported in UML? Derived variables incorrect Composite variables incorrect Variables with unique values (similar to key attribute types in the ER model) correct Multivalued variables incorrect
MC Given the following EER categorisation:

Which statement is CORRECT? The categorisation can also be represented as a specialisation. incorrect A patient only inherits the 'Name' and 'Date of Birth' attribute types from the superclass that the current entity belongs to. correct All men and women are patients. incorrect The categorisation can also be represented as an aggregation. incorrect
MC A composite aggregation... has a maximum multiplicity of n and a minimum multiplicity of 0 at the composite side. incorrect has a maximum multiplicity of 1 and a minimum multiplicity of 1 at the composite side. incorrect has a maximum multiplicity of 1 and a minimum multiplicity of 0 or 1 at the composite side. correct has a maximum multiplicity of n and a minimum multiplicity of 0 or 1 at the composite side. incorrect
MC Given the following EER categorisation:

Which statement is CORRECT? The categorisation can also be represented as an aggregation. incorrect All men and women are patients. incorrect The categorisation can also be represented as a specialisation. incorrect A patient only inherits the 'Name' and 'Date of Birth' attribute types from the superclass that the current entity belongs to. correct
MC Which one of the following is an example of a DISJOINT and PARTIAL specialisation? HUMAN -> LOVES FISH + LOVES MEAT incorrect HUMAN -> BLONDE + BRUNETTE correct HUMAN -> UNIVERSITY DEGREE + COLLEGE DEGREE incorrect HUMAN -> VEGETARIAN + NON-VEGETARIAN incorrect
MC Which statement is CORRECT? In case a ternary relationship type is represented as 3 binary relationship types, then semantics will get lost. correct A ternary relationship type cannot have attribute types. incorrect 3 binary relationship types between 3 entity types can always be replaced by 1 ternary relationship type between the 3 participating entity types. incorrect A ternary relationship type can always be represented as 3 binary relationship types without loss of semantics. incorrect
MC 
In the movie ER model above, we focus on the binary relationship 'PRODUCES'. Suppose we add an attribute type that indicates the time that each producer spent on producing each movie called 'WORKING HOURS'.
Which of the following scenarios is possible? We can add the attribute type 'WORKING HOURS' to the relationship type PRODUCES. correct We can migrate the attribute type 'WORKING HOURS' to the 'PRODUCER' entity type. incorrect We can migrate the attribute type 'WORKING HOURS' to either one of the linked entity types. incorrect We can migrate the attribute type 'WORKING HOURS' to the 'MOVIE' entity type. incorrect
