Question 11
In an Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram, what does a double diamond represent?
A double diamond denotes an identifying relationship set for a weak entity; the distractors shown do not describe that notation.

In EER modeling, the bottom-up process of synthesizing multiple entity sets with common features into a higher-level entity set is termed:
Generalization is the bottom-up process of combining common features of lower-level entity sets into a higher-level superclass.
In an ER diagram, an abstraction through which relationships are treated as higher-level entities is called:
Aggregation is an abstraction used when a relationship between entity sets must be treated as a composite entity set so it can participate in other relationships.
If an entity can belong to at most one subclass within a specialization hierarchy, the constraint is classified as:
The disjointness constraint requires that subclasses of a specialization be mutually exclusive (an entity can belong to at most one subclass).
Which of the following attributes cannot be broken down into simpler constituent components?
Atomic (simple) attributes are indivisible values defined over primitive domain types.
