Diagram Explanation  

  Note

The above diagram is called an entity relationship map, it displays the relational inter-dependency between two or more entities.

What is it?  

Basically, it is a graphical means of displaying the strength of the relationship between two entities. We use the term “entities”, because other things can and do possess relationships to one another. Such as fuel to cars, or apples to apple tress. The diagram also describes whether the relationship is mandatory or not, meaning whether one can exist without the other. When applied to human relationships, the later would describe whether another individual’s involvement would have occurred without the other’s involvement.
