You must select the data storage problem of your interest and recognize the different pieces of the data which must be stored within the database. Then, in the actual Term Project, take it through the normalization process and develop the actual database tables.

The Proposal for the Term Project, MS Word doc - 500 words minimum, must include the following:

1) Name and main idea of project.
2) Purpose and goal of the project.
3) Possible users and administrators.
4) How is this work being done now, without database and how will the database specifically improve the process.
5) Data elements to be included: entities, attributes
6) Platform to be used: what kind of database. (That is, Short term will use MS Access, for ease of use and prototyping but long term will switch to the more robust platform such as MS SQL, or Oracle, or remain in MS Access)
7) Other interesting related points.
