[Year 12 IT Apps] Entity-Relationship Diagram - Unit 3 Outcome 2

[Mark KELLY]

Hi Ben

It matters if students can't decode the relationships because an unexpected
notation is used.  I'm just researching ERD notations and have found these
so far:

   - Chen
   - IDEF1X
   - Cachman
   - Martin / IE / Crow’s foot
   - Min-Max/ISO
   - UML

The exam had better stick rigidly to the notation in the sample questions!
