A book is identified by its ISBN number, and it has a title, a price, and a

date of publication. It is published by a publisher, each of which has its


own ID number and a name. Each book has exactly one publisher, but
one publisher may publish multiple books over time.

A book is written by one or multiple authors. Each author is identified


by an author number and has a name and date of birth. Each author may
write multiple books; in addition, occasionally data are needed also
regarding prospective authors who have not yet published any books.

Additional information is needed regarding the relationship between a


book and its authors. Specifically, it is important to record whether or
not a specific author is a lead author of the book, and each author’s
position in the sequence of the book’s authors.

A book can be part of a series, which is also identified as a book and has
its own ISBN number. One book can belong to several series and a
series consists of at least one but potentially many books.
