Updated concept map

New version of the concept map / domain model (would be considered an "initial" domain model - model before applying patterns and so on).

Another version

I guess I felt like modeling....

A new version of the model prepared in Microsoft Excel (really!)

Model 1

Early version...

I found some good resources on relationships including the IS-A relationship. I wish I had the textbook I used for the database course at UMBC. That was a good one.

It is available at: http://fmooresignatureassignment3.blogspot.com/). The concept map would also be good preparation for my upcoming Database course.

I started by looking at the research proposal to extract concepts...
