In this course, we apply the approach described in the course on “A business-oriented approach to data modeling” on a teaching company called Knowledge Inc.By following along the two 5-step scripts, we will turn a case description into a conceptual and logical model. In this case, you will come across all the approach elements applied to the teaching company. In case you have not followed the course on “A business-oriented approach to data modeling”, we advise you to do that first. It will help to follow along easier in this case.

Setting the scene
This case is based on Knowledge Inc. A company that organizes courses by working as an intermediary institute for other companies. Bringing teachers from different companies together with students, Knowledge Inc. offers a diverse set of topics. They have asked us to develop a database model that will help them manage the difficult task of keeping track of students, teachers and courses.
