Preparing the Conceptual Model of a Database Containing the Data of a Journal

Abstract

Since 2006, several Hungarian and foreign experts have published high-qualitypublications in the Journal of Contemporary Social and Economic Processes. To efficiently extract the information from the publications, the idea to create a database arose. The first step to achieve this is to prepare a conceptual model which is the subject of the current article. The created entity relationship model includes 3 entity sets, 39 attributes and 3 relationships. This model can serve thecurrent information needs related to the journal when converted to a relational schema and then implemented in an SQL-based database system.
